It is annoying when friends and family repost recipes on facebook. It fills your feed with highly caloric temptations and gets in the way of reading everyone's opinion about the most recent thunderstorm, however, my aunt posted these and my mom made them and they are so good. They taste like a bakery pastry. In fact, the flavor reminds me of the cheese danishes that you can buy at Arnie's. I would sub low-fat crescent rolls and cream cheese, to make them a bit less guilt-ridden!
Quick and Easy Cheesy Danish Pastry
Ingredients:
2 cans ready to use refrigerated crescent rolls
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg white
Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350* degrees and grease a 13X9-inch baking pan. Lay a pack of crescent rolls in the pan and pinch the openings together. Beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg together until smooth. Spread the mixture over the crescent rolls evenly and then lay the second pack of crescent rolls on top of the cheese mixture and brush with egg white. Bake for 35-45 minutes until the top is golden brown. Top with glaze after cooling for 20 minutes.
