    This cheese blintze recipe is an absolute stunner. I've made it for Hanukkah dinners a few times, and my family loves it. I add a bit more balsamic vinegar to the strawberries than the recipe calls for, but otherwise I make no changes. I make Fine Cooking's crepe recipe too. It is delicious and impresses everyone.
