Ingredients and Weight:
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (240ml) milk
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

- ½ cup (60g) shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup (25g) sliced green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Time:

Difficulty Level:
3 (Moderate)
Preparation Method Steps:
- Make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and salt. The batter should be thin and pourable.
- Cook the crepes: Heat a lightly greased 8-inch (20 cm) skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and tilt it around to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter to make 8 crepes.
- Make the cheese filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fill and roll the blintzes: Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of cheese filling onto the center of each crepe. Fold the sides of the crepe over the filling, then roll it up tightly.
- Cook the blintzes: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the blintzes and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
