Cooked Blintzes: The cooked blintzes can be refrigerated for up to 1 day; they can be frozen, using the method for uncooked blintzes. Defrost in the refrigerator and reheat, uncovered, in a 350-degree oven until warmed through.

Conventional or Toaster Oven:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Place frozen blintzes on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, then turn over and bake for an additional 3 minutes or until golden and warmed through.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the blintzes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they're not touching each other, or they won't reheat evenly. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes.

The Slavic translation is “pancake” since it resembles a pancake. Traditional fillings include sweetened cheese with raisins. According to historical Jewish customs, blintzes are served on Shavuot as part of a celebration after fasting for 24 hours prior for Yom Kippur.
