How to Make Easiest Cheese Danish
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out the thawed puff pastry slightly to an even thickness.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth and creamy.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cheese.
- Carefully roll up the puff pastry from the long side into a log.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1-inch slices.
- Place the slices cut-side up onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
- Brush the tops of the Danish with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy!
