Blintz Casserole

Filling: 

• 1 lb. cottage cheese, drained
• 1 - 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 Tbls sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla 

Batter: 

• 1 1/2 cups sour cream
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 6 eggs
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 cup flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 

Topping: 

• sour cream
• fruit preserves

To make filling: Using an electric beater or food processor, mix all the ingredients; set aside.

To make the batter: Gradually add all the ingredients in a blender, in the order given. Pour half the batter into a greased 9"x13" baking dish. Gently spread the filling over the batter; it will mix a little. Pour the rest of the batter over the filling. Cover and refrigerate overnight. 

In the morning, bake at 350 degrees, uncovered, for 50-60 minutes. The casserole will be slightly puffed and golden in color. Set on a rack to cool; then cut into squares, top each portion with a dollop of sour cream and preserves and serve immediately. Serves 8.
