Preparing the pancakes:

Pour a ladle of the mixture into a heated pan, greased with a little oil, and cook the pancakes on both sides until golden. Place them on a plate and let them cool.

Preparing the filling:
2. In a large bowl, mash the sheep cheese, cow cheese, and fresh cheese. Add the 4 eggs, 4 tablespoons of sugar, the sachets of vanilla sugar, and the raisins. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. If desired, you can also add a pinch of cinnamon for an even more aromatic taste.

Assembling the dish:
3. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and grease a baking dish with butter.
4. Fill each pancake with the cheese mixture, carefully roll them up, and place them in the dish, side by side, forming two layers.

Ready to bake:
5. In a separate bowl, beat the 2 eggs with the yogurt. Pour this mixture evenly over the pancakes in the dish. This step will add a creamy texture and help brown the dish.

Baking:
6. Place the dish in the preheated oven and let it bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pancakes are golden and the filling is well cooked. The delicious aromas will spread throughout the kitchen, and your patience will be rewarded.

Serving:
After taking them out of the oven, let the pancakes cool slightly before cutting them. They can be served warm or cold. A wonderful idea is to dust them with sugar on top, giving them an elegant appearance. You can accompany the pancakes with yogurt or buttermilk, bringing a fresh and refreshing contrast. Additionally, for an extra touch of flavor, you can add some fresh seasonal fruits on the plate.

Practical tips:
- Make sure the cheese is well mashed to avoid large chunks in the filling.
- The raisins can be soaked in warm water or rum for added flavor.
- You can experiment with different types of cheese, adding goat cheese or ricotta for a different texture.

If you want to personalize the recipe, you can add fresh herbs like dill or parsley to the filling. You can also try adding sautéed vegetables for a savory version.
