Cheese Blintz Casserole

Yom Kippur is also called the Day of Atonement. This observance always comes eight days after Rosh Hashanah. The mood turns from festive to somber as a day of fasting from both food and drink begins in recognition of the past year's sins. After fasting, many gather with family and friends at sunset to "break the fast." Light dairy or breakfast foods are common.

16 ounces cream cheese, softened
16 ounces farmer cheese
2 large eggs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Beat first 5 ingredients at low speed with electric mixer; set cheese mixture aside. Beat butter and 1/4 cup sugar at medium speed until fluffy. Add 2 eggs and milk, mixing well. Combine flour and baking powder; stir into butter mixture. Pour half of butter mixture into a greased 11 x 7-inch baking dish. Spoon cheese mixture on top, and pour remaining butter mixture over cheese mixture. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes.

Yields 8 to 10 servings.

NOTE: The baked casserole may be frozen. To serve, thaw in refrigerator, and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
