Blintz Casserole (keto)

One of my favorite childhood treats was my mom's homemade cheese blintzes. They were so delicious! They were also a lot of work, so she didn't make them often.

A few low-carb tweaks to this recipe, https://www.lynnskitchenadventures.com/2014/07/blintz-breakfast-casserole.html, transported me back to my mom's house. :-). This recipe is a whole lot easier than my mom's, as you don't need to make blintz leaves, I'm all for easier!

This got rave reviews at breakfast!! My boyfriend and son loved it with maple syrup and sausage on the side but I ate it with just a few berries, the way my mom served hers. If you've never had cheese blintzes you need to give this a try and if you love blintzes you'll love how easy this version is!
