Cherry Blintz Souffle

We had Cherry Blintz Souffle today for breakfast.  This is such a yummy breakfast!  Like having cherry pie for breakfast.  The recipe is for Cheese Blintz Souffle, but I like it better with the fruit filled blintzes.
Cheese Blintz Soufflé

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter, melted
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup Orange juice
4 eggs
1 ¼ cups sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dash of salt
1 box (13 oz.) frozen cheese blintzes
 Directions:    
Pour butter into 11-by-7-inch glass baking dish.  Place blintzes in dish in single layer.  In medium bowl, beat remaining ingredients; pour over frozen blintzes. Cover and refrigerate overnight.  Remove from refrigerator.  Preheat oven to 350oF.  Uncover and bake 45 to 55 minutes or until puffed and golden.

NOTE:  I like using the fruit blintzes better.  When using the Cherry or Blueberry I sprinkle with nutmeg.  For the Apple sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.
