AuburnJen 771 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Easy Cheese Danish This is a quick and easy recipe for cheese danish that my family simply adores. Honestly, I don't know where the recipe comes from originally, since my Mother and Grandmother both made this for as long as I can remember. Despite being so easy to make, it's satisfying and wonderful for a quick weekend breakfast treat. We love it best still warm from the oven, but it will keep well for a couple of days if it's well covered and placed in the refrigerator. It also reheats well in the microwave for a few seconds. Try this simple recipe for your own family one of these days and see if they don't rave about it too!Ingredients:2 cans ready to use refrigerated crescent rolls2 8-ounce packages cream cheese1 cup sugar1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 egg1 egg whiteGlaze:1/2 cup powdered sugar2 Tablespoons milk1/2 teaspoon vanilla extractMethod:Preheat oven to 350* degrees and grease a 13X9-inch baking pan. Lay a pack of crescent rolls in the pan and pinch the openings together. Beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg together until smooth. Spread the mixture over the crescent rolls evenly and then lay the second pack of crescent rolls on top of the cheese mixture and brush with egg white. Bake for 35-45 minutes until the top is golden brown. Top with glaze after cooling for 20 minutes.Kitchen Notes:I have made this danish using low fat cream cheese and splenda (sugar substitute) and it was delicious! Also, the amount of filling the original recipe calls for makes a VERY heavily filled danish. I have halved the filling using 1 package of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 whole egg, and a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and it was still very good. If you use the half filling method, bake for closer to 30-35 minutes.http://kitchengirljo.blogspot.com/2009/07/easy-cheese-danish.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Judy in Texas 150 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I have a similar recipe. I've also put some strawberry preserves on the cream cheese prior to adding the top crescent roll dough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Momoffive aka Loretta 34 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Just took it out of the oven. I will let you know how it turned out. If is half as good as it smells, I may end up hiding it from the kids instead of giving them a piece for breakfast. Smells devine!!! Thanks for the recipe Jen! Next time I will try it with strawberry! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alexwyattmommy 181 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I see your ten and raise you 11 pounds. LOL These do look yummy. Bet I could get a great Mother's Day present out of them if I make these. Momma doesn't want to do the laundry anymore. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ºoºThomasclan85ºoº 8 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Looks great! Gonna get the stuff to make it tomorrow! Thanks for sharing Jen! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I have this in the oven right now. Should be done in 10 minutes. It is going to kill the kids to have to wait for it cool down enough for the glaze.ETA: The family has pronounced this "stupid good" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sunset Lady 6 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 For those who have made this, have you reheated them. I would like to make ahead to eat later and was wondering how they would taste. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 We ate them reheated while camping. They were fine in the microwave and tasted better than store bought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judy in Texas 150 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 It is ready good at room temperature, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
