Easy Cheese Blintz Casserole

Can it be, that the chief object of existence is to sing, and play, and dress and dance? Do not these things, when we reflect upon them, look more like the pursuits of butterflies and grasshoppers, and canary birds – than of rational creatures? Is it not melancholy to see beings with never-dying souls, sinking to the amusements of children; and employing time as if it were given them for nothing but mirth; and using the world as if it were created by God only to be a sort of playground for its inhabitants?

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Butter a 13 X 9" baking dish.  In a
blender or food processor (fitted with a steel blade) combine all
batter ingredients. Process until very smooth, scraping down the  sides
of the container once or twice. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of the  batter,
and pour it into the baking dish. Cook for about 10 minutes,  until
set.  While the batter is cooking, combine all the filling ingredients
in a  large bowl and blend well. When the baking dish is removed from
the  oven, spread the filling over the set batter layer, smoothing the
top.  Give the remaining batter a quick stir to re-suspend the
ingredients.  Very slowly pour the batter over the filling, making
certain that all  the filling is covered. Carefully carry the baking
dish to the oven  so the layers remain distinct.  Bake 35-40 minutes
until the top is puffed and set. Remove casserole  from oven and let it
rest for 1--15 minutes before cutting it into  squares to serve.  Serve
with desired accompaniments.  Formatted by Auntie_e@Prodigy.com for
