You’ll be shocked at how easy these homemade cheese danishes are to make! With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a bakery-worthy treat in no time. Whether you enjoy them plain or add your favorite mix-ins, these flaky pastries will impress your family and guests.

🥐 What You’ll Need

For the Filling

Mix until smooth and creamy:

• 1 block of softened cream cheese
• 2.5 tablespoons of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Want to add a little extra flavor? Try mixing in chocolate chips, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or even a swirl of fruit preserves!

The Dough

You’ll need puff pastry sheets, which can be found in the freezer section of your grocery store near frozen pie crusts. Be sure to let the sheet thaw before using.

Egg Wash for the Perfect Golden Crust

To get that beautiful golden-brown finish, make a simple egg wash by whisking together:

• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon of water

Brush this mixture around the edges of your pastry before baking.

🥐 How to Make Them

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. Roll out your thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
3. Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the center of each pastry.
4. Fold or crimp the edges slightly to hold the filling in place.
5. Brush the edges with egg wash for that flaky, golden-brown crust.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
7. Let cool slightly, then enjoy warm!

✨ Enjoy Your Homemade Treat!
