Easy breakfast cheese Danish is a flaky, buttery pastry filled with sweet vanilla cream cheese and finished with a simple glaze, all starting from crescent dough or puff pastry. It’s a bakery-style treat you can whip up in minutes for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack with coffee.
Why You’ll Love This Danish
Using refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry means you get all the layers and flake of a traditional Danish without the work of making dough from scratch. The cream cheese filling is rich, lightly sweet, and vanilla-scented, and the optional glaze takes it firmly into “coffee shop pastry” territory. These are easy to customize with fruit preserves, lemon zest, or toppings, and they bake in about 15 minutes so they’re doable even on busy mornings.
