For an extra touch of richness, consider adding a pinch of lemon zest to the cheese filling. If baking the Nalesniki, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. For a crispy exterior, dip the filled and rolled crepes in beaten egg and bread crumbs before frying. Nalesniki can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to cook. Add 5 minutes to the cooking time to ensure they are heated through.
