I am always on the lookout for things that he will actually eat as he seems to get more picky by the day, so I decided to give this recipe a shot. It's easy and the actual active time on it is not too bad, but there is much waiting so this is not a recipe that you should attempt if you are in a hurry.
It's nice and warm, cheesy and sweet, and not too bad. My husband and son both really liked it and had two servings each. I have had bronchitis and a sinus infection and can't really taste anything, but it does have a nice texture, if that matters to you at all.
Cheese Danish
What you need
2 cans ready to use refrigerated crescent rolls
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese (I used the lower fat Neufchatel cheese because I like the taste of it)
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg white (optional in my opinion)
Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
What you do:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. and spray a 13 X 9 inch baking dish with non-stick spray. Open a package of the crescent rolls, unroll them in the baking dish and pinch the seams between the rolls together.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg together until smooth. (If not using a stand mixer, you will want to soften your cream cheese a bit first.) Spread the mixture over the crescent rolls evenly and then open the second package of crescent rolls and unroll them on top of the cheese mixture and brush the top with the egg white if using.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
Let cool for 20 minutes. While the danish is cooling, make the glaze. Combine the glaze ingredients in a small bowl and stir well, then drizzle over the top of the cooled danish, cut into squares and enjoy.
I don't know exactly what it tastes like, but my family really enjoyed it.
