Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  3. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into squares, about 4x4 inches each.

  4. Place a dollop of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square.

  5. Fold two opposite corners of the pastry square over the filling, slightly overlapping them in the center.

  6. Brush the exposed pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.

  8. Once done, remove the pastries from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.

  9. Dust the warm Cheese Danish with powdered sugar before serving.

  10. For an extra burst of flavor, top each Danish with a spoonful of your favorite fruit preserves or pie filling.
