Russian Blueberry Zapekanka (Cheesecake)

(mydeliciousmeals.com)
A tasty, healthy and kid-friendly idea for breakfast or dessert. Originally Zapekanka is made with tvorog (Farmer's cheese), but living in the US I usually use ricotta cheese instead. A must try if you haven't already!

Great recipes!!! Best one I have tried and I have tried several zapekanka! I told my Russian friend about the blueberries and she said that was a GREAT addition!!! The only thing I added was some almond extract in addition to the vanilla! It gives it a little extra umph. Still extraordinarily delish!!! Thanks for sharing it
