I make the following, easy cheese blintz casserole... this way you don't need to fuss with making crepes.

Batter:
2/3 cup oil
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 cup milk
2 cups flour

Blend all ingredients in a blender

Filling:
1 1/4 lb. cottage cheese
4 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 - 2/3 cup sugar
1 egg

Mix together.

Assembly:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pour half the batter into a 9x13 pan. Then all the filling. then rest of the batter.

Bake for about 45 minutes until golden brown on top.

Serve hot or cold.

Several options:
Drizzle chocolate syrup over the cheese then top with rest of batter.
Sprinkle top with cinnamon and sugar.
After it bakes, pour a can of blueberry, strawberry or cherry pie filling on top and then serve.

If you're still looking for a blintz recipe...

Classic Cheese Blintzes - S & S
Batter
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla sugar
pinch of salt
1 Tbsp oil

Cheese Filling
1/2 lb. farmer cheese
4 oz. cream cheese
4 Tbsp honey or maple syrup
juice of 1/2 lemon (1 - 1-1/2 Tbsp)
1 egg yolk

Cottage Cheese Filling
1 lb. cottage cheese, strained
2 egg yolks
2 Tbsp flour
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla sugar

Batter: In a large mixer bowl combine eggs, milk, water, and bled well. Gradually add flour, then both sugars, salt and oil. Beat well until there are no lumps in the batter.

Filling: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and beat well. Or combine ingredients in a blender container and blend until smooth.

Using a paper towel or basting brush, apply a thin coat of oil to a 7" skillet. Place skillet over medium heat until skillet is hot but not smoking.
Ladle approximately 1/3 cup of batter into the skillet. Tilt pan and swirl the batter so it covers the bottom of the skillet.
Fry one side ountil small bubbles form, and top is set. Bottom should be golden brown. When done, carefully loosen edges of blintz and slip out of skillet onto a plate.
Repeat the above procedure until all the batter is used. Grease the skillet as needed.
Turn each blintz so that golden brown side is up. Place 3 Tbsp of filling on each edge in a 2-1/2" long by 1" wide mound.
Roll once to cover filling. Fold the sides into the center and continue rolling until completely closed.
Heat 2 Tbsp of oil in the skillet and place each blintz seam side down in the skillet and fry 2 minutes on each side, turning once.
