Ingredients

• 250 g All-purpose flour
• 500 ml Milk
• 4 large Eggs
• 50 g Butter
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 300 g Chicken breast, cooked and shredded
• 200 g Mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 100 g Sour cream
• 100 g Cream cheese
• 100 g Grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Dill, chopped
• 0.25 tsp Nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 eggs, salt, and milk until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 2

Melt the butter and stir it into the batter along with the vegetable oil.

Step 3

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour a ladleful of batter into the skillet and tilt it to spread it evenly, forming a thin pancake (blin). Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Repeat until all batter is used, making approximately 8-10 pancakes. Set the pancakes aside to cool.

Step 4

In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the onions until translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until they’re soft and any liquid has evaporated.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked mushrooms and onions, sour cream, cream cheese, black pepper, nutmeg, and chopped dill. Mix well to form the filling.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 7

On a flat surface, lay out one pancake and spread a small portion of the filling evenly on top. Place another pancake on top of the filling and repeat the process, creating a layered pancake 'cake' with alternating layers of pancakes and filling.

Step 8

Finish with a plain pancake on top. Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top layer.

Step 9

Transfer the pancake stack to an oven-safe dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and golden.

Step 10

Let the Blinchatyi Pirog cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve warm and enjoy!
