How to Make Almond Pastry
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Unroll one (8 ounce) package of refrigerated crescent rolls onto the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Gently press and stretch the dough to cover the bottom, pinching the perforations together to seal.
- In a medium bowl, mix together 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 large egg yolk, 1 teaspoon almond extract, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll layer.
- Unroll a second (8 ounce) package of refrigerated crescent rolls and carefully stretch the dough to fit over the cream cheese layer. Pinch the edges to seal.
- In a small bowl, lightly beat 1 large egg white.
- Brush the egg white evenly over the top layer of crescent rolls.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup sliced almonds over the egg white.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let the pastry cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
