Easy Breakfast Cheese Danish 🥐🧀 – Buttery, Flaky & Creamy Delight!
Perfect for a cozy weekend breakfast or a sweet brunch treat, this cheese Danish recipe is super easy with crescent roll dough and a luscious cream cheese filling. Let’s make mornings delicious!
🧾 Ingredients:
2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls 🥐
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened 🧀
1 cup sugar 🍚
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍨
1 whole egg 🥚
1 egg white (for brushing) 🥚
👩🍳 Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13″ baking dish with parchment or lightly grease it.
Prepare the base layer:
Unroll one can of crescent rolls and press into the bottom of the pan, sealing the seams to create one solid sheet.
Make the cream cheese filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and the whole egg until smooth and creamy.
Spread the filling:
Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the crescent roll base in the pan.
Top layer time:
Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and place it on top of the cream cheese mixture, again pressing the seams together gently.
Brush and bake:
Brush the top layer with egg white to give it that golden bakery-style finish.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly puffed.
Cool & serve:
Let cool for about 15 minutes before slicing into squares or rectangles. Serve warm or chilled!
💡 Optional Drizzle (for a sweet glaze):
Mix ½ cup powdered sugar with 1 tbsp milk and a dash of vanilla. Drizzle over cooled Danish for extra sweetness!
📝 Pro Tip:
Add a layer of fruit preserves (like raspberry or apricot) between the cheese filling and top crescent layer for a fruity twist!
