Ingredients
 
BATTER 
4 egg whites or 1/2 cup egg substitute
1 cup fat-free milk
1/8 tsp. salt (optional)
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1/2 cup Kretschmer® Wheat Germ, any flavor
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. stick margarine or butter, melted
FILLING  
1 cup nonfat ricotta cheese or nonfat cottage cheese
1/2 cup nonfat cream cheese
1/4 cup nonfat sour cream
1/4 cup Kretschmer® Wheat Germ, any flavor
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
   
1 Tbsp. stick margarine or butter, melted
2 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries or raspberries)
  Additional nonfat sour cream and Kretschmer® Wheat Germ for topping (optional)
   

For batter, combine all ingredients in blender or food processor; cover. Blend about 1 minute or until smooth. Pour batter into bowl; let stand 10 minutes to thicken slightly.

Heat 7 to 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; grease lightly. For each blintz, pour scant 1/4 cup batter into hot pan; immediately tilt pan to coat bottom evenly with thin layer. Cook 45 seconds or until top looks dry. Turn; continue cooking about 20 seconds. Stack blintzes between sheets of waxed paper. (Blintzes may be wrapped securely and frozen up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in refrigerator.)

Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.

For filling, combine all ingredients in large bowl; mix well. Spoon about 2 tablespoons filling onto center of each blintz. Fold 2 sides over filling; fold up ends to form rectangle. Place blintzes seam side down in baking dish. Brush lightly with melted margarine.

Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through. Top each blintz with fruit. Top with additional nonfat sour cream and wheat germ, if desired.
