Easy Breakfast Cheese Danish Recipe With Crescent Rolls Dough

TIP 1: ADD SPECIAL TOPPINGS:

For a shortcut to making sauce toppings, you can use ready made preserves, jams, syrups, custard, and pie fillings to add more flavors and delight. Even better, add a few sprinkles of the actual fruit. E.g., if you use raspberry jam, add a few fresh raspberries, and even a drizzle of raspberry syrup! YUMMY and looks like gourmet fair.

TIP 2: ADD FRUIT TOPPINGS TO INTERIOR OPTIONS:

You can top the cream cheese mixture with your choice of fruit spreads before adding the top layer of dough.

Swirl syrup into the creamy batter for streaks of color and flavor

Add flavors to your cream cheese batter, such as lemon curd for a lemon cream cheese danish.

TIP 3: USE DOUGH SHEETS & TRIANGLE CRESCENTS:

We like using the solid sheet for the first layer and the triangle sheets for the top. Use a pizza cutter or knife to open the perforated dough to allow the cream cheese to bubble up in between.

TIP 4: LOWER SUGAR OPTIONS:

Omit the glaze and it’s still delicious!

Substitute sugar in batter with maple sugar. The color will be more beige like the sugar. We use this organic maple sugar.

Create a fruit syrup or chocolate syrup instead of glaze, using maple syrup or honey to sweeten.

TIP 5 – LOWER FAT OPTION:

Use low fat cream cheese.

Use half the cheese / sugar batter for a lighter, thinner pastry.

TIP 6 – KEEP DOUGH REFRIGERATED

Keep the crescent dough refrigerated until ready to use to keep it from getting sticky and hard to work with.
