Long before the age of Pinterest there was something called recipe cards where people would actually write recipes out by hand. Crazy, right? This recipe card is from my mom and I treasure it. First, because it’s a great recipe that she’s been making for years. But also because it reminds me of my mom. Her handwriting is nearly impossible to read, but it’s from her and one day I will pass it along to my daughter who will pass it along to her daughter. I hope she will make it one day for her children and remember that it was a recipe her grandmother made.
One of my favorite things about Mother’s Day is brunch. I rarely eat a leisurely brunch but on Mother’s Day I love to. Brunch doesn’t have to be time-consuming to prepare. I usually like to pick up some bagels and spreads and have a couple of homemade dishes. This recipe is so easy and delicious. It only takes a few minutes to get in the oven. You start with defrosted blintzes. Not familiar with blintzes? They are crepes filled with cheese or fruit. We made our own cheese blintzes with strawberry sauce recently. They are so good homemade, but time-consuming. Store-bought blintzes work great in this recipe.
Next combine eggs, sour cream, sugar, salt and vanilla extract.
Pour the batter over the blintzes and let that cook for almost an hour, until the top is custardy and browned.
If you are hosting brunch, put this on your menu. If you are having a low-key Mother’s Day and you are lucky enough to get breakfast in bed, pick up the ingredients and leave a copy of the recipe on the kitchen counter as a hint to what you want to eat. Happy Mother’s Day to all the fabulous moms out there!
