<\/a>Besides the last few years where I’ve spent Christmas with C’s family, my typical Christmas breakfast consists of cold chinese food. Okay not actually, I usually eat oatmeal. But have you ever wondered what the Jews do on Christmas? We eat Chinese food and go to the movies. This is not a generalization, it’s actually a holy day.<\/p>\nOrange Cheese Blintzes {Gluten-Free}<\/strong><\/p>\n by The Healthy Maven<\/span><\/p>\n Prep Time:<\/span> 10 mins<\/span><\/p>\n Cook Time:<\/span> 20 mins<\/span><\/p>\n Keywords:<\/span> cook bake breakfast gluten-free orange cheese Christmas Jewish<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Ingredients (Yields: 10 blintzes)<\/span><\/p>\n Instructions<\/p>\n 1.

Blintzes will forever remind me of my Bubby. In addition to enough bagels and lox to feed a small village my Bubby always had blintzes in the house. The blintzes were usually potato-based but then my life was changed forever when I tried the cheese blintzes at Katz’s Deli in New York. It was like a Bar Mitzvah in my mouth! Long overdo that I post my own twist on a classic cheese blintz recipe.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
