Quick easy recipe that only takes a few ingredients to make something delicious!
Ingredients
Danishes with cream cheese filling
Directions
Equipment needed: 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Separate egg. Put egg yolk in medium bowl and beat a few times, it will be used in the next step. Put the egg white in a small bowl with a teaspoon of water, beat and set aside (this is your egg wash).
Add cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice to the medium bowl with the egg yolk. With a hand mixer blend on medium high until smooth.
Lay out the two puff pastry sheets, one on each cookie sheet. Cut each pastry into 4 even squares. Fold pastry corners and then pastry sides into an octagon type shape. Spoon about two tablespoons of cream cheese into the centers of the 8 pastries. Do not spread cream cheese. Brush the pastries with the egg wash mixture.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly and serve.
Conclusion
In my photo I have shown some of the many options you can do with this easy danish recipe. Danishes pictured have jarred lemon curd with a dusting of powdered sugar, canned blueberry pie filling with a drizzle of powdered sugar glaze (1/4 cup powdered sugar mixed with a tsp milk) and a savory turkey and cheese option (2 pieces folded turkey lunch meat topped with shredded sharp cheddar).
