Easy Breakfast Cheese Danish

recip


3. Assemble the Danishes

  1. Place the puff pastry squares onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
  2. Spoon about 1–2 tablespoons of the cheese filling into the center of each square.
  3. Fold the corners of each square toward the center, overlapping slightly to create a pinwheel shape. Press gently to seal the edges.

4. Brush and Bake

  1. Brush the exposed pastry with the beaten egg to give it a golden, shiny finish.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

5. Finish and Serve

  1. Remove the danishes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  2. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
  3. Add optional toppings like a dollop of jam, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of honey for extra decadence.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with a hot cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of orange juice for a complete breakfast experience.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
  • Perfect for holiday brunches, weekend treats, or meal prep.

Pro Tips for Success

  • Don’t Overfill: Keep the filling centered and avoid overstuffing to prevent leaks during baking.
  • Chill Before Baking: If the pastry feels too soft after assembling, pop it in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before baking to help it hold its shape.
  • Use Homemade Pastry: If you have time, make your own puff pastry for an extra flaky crust.
  • Freeze for Later: Assemble the danishes, freeze them unbaked on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
