  1. 1 Whisk together the eggs, milk, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a bowl; gradually add in the flour, whisking to remove all lumps.
  2. 2 Brush a small skillet with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, and heat over medium-high heat. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter per crepe into the heated skillet, and tilt the pan to completely cover the surface with batter. Crepes should be about 5 inches in diameter. Cook the crepes until golden on the bottom, and set but not wet on top, 1 to 2 minutes per crepe. Don't flip the crepes. Set the cooked crepes aside.
  3. 3 Mix the cottage cheese, egg yolks, sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl until very well combined. To fill, place a crepe in front of you on a work surface with the cooked side up, and place about 1/4 cup of cheese filling in the center of the crepe. Fold the right and left edges of the crepe over the filling, and roll the crepe over to seal the filling in, making a compact little roll filled with cheese. Set the blintzes aside.
  4. 4 Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat, and place the filled blintzes into the hot skillet. Pan-fry the blintzes until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Eat hot or cold.

Instructions

  1. 1 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and cool.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, prepare dough by combining 1 egg, 1 tablespoon cream cheese, 1 teaspoon milk and 1/2 cup flour. Once all the flour has been worked in, add another 1/2 cup flour, 1 tablespoon cream cheese and 1 teaspoon milk. When the dough is well blended, add 1 egg, 1 tablespoon cream cheese and another 1/2 cup flour; mix well. Finally, add the remaining egg, 1 teaspoon milk and 1/2 cup flour. If dough is too dry, add a little more milk; if too wet, add more flour.
  3. 3 On a well floured surface, roll out 1/4 of the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Using a glass, muffin cutter, or any rounded surface, cut out circles of dough. Flour both sides of the circle and set aside in a single layer on wax paper. Repeat process with remaining dough.
  4. 4 Mash the potatoes with the cottage cheese, salt and butter. Place a spoonful of the filling slightly below the center of a circle of dough. Fold the dough over and seal edges with fingertips. Use enough filling so that you have to stretch the dough over it, but not so much that it squeezes out when sealed.
  5. 5 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in pierogis, a few at a time. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they float to the top; drain.
  6. 6 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry boiled pierogis in hot oil until crispy.

  1. 1 Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Once the water is boiling, stir in lasagna noodles 3 or 4 at a time, and return to a boil. Cook noodles, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 10 minutes per batch. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Lay cooked noodles flat on waxed paper or aluminum foil while you finish cooking remaining noodles.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x11-inch baking dish.
  3. 3 Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Using a potato masher, mash potatoes with milk and butter until smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon onion salt, and season with salt and pepper. Set the mashed potatoes aside to cool. When cooled, mix with shredded Cheddar cheese.
  4. 4 Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and almost crisp, about 10 minutes. Place onion into the hot bacon fat, and cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Break bacon into pieces with a spoon or spatula. Set bacon and onion aside. Mix cottage cheese, egg, and 1 teaspoon onion salt in a bowl.
  5. 5 To make the casserole, place 3 lasagna noodles into the prepared baking dish, and spread with cottage cheese mixture evenly. Top cottage cheese with 3 more lasagna noodles, then spread potato-cheese mixture in a layer. Top potato layer with 3 more noodles, then spread bacon and onion in an even layer on top of the casserole.
  6. 6 Cover the casserole with aluminum foil, and bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and the casserole is hot, about 30 minutes. Allow to set for about 10 minutes before serving.
