Cream Cheese Danish

 

 

For tea  today, I've used the cupcake teapot that my dear sister gifted me, and used it with my polka dot plate and cup and a polka dot napkin from fabric a had in my stash.  I've used some grocery store daisies inside a pretty basket.

This Cream Cheese Danish is a family favorite that I've been making for years.  You can double this recipe and use a 9 x 13" baking dish for a larger crowd.  The only thing is, if you double it, there's no need to use 2 eggs.  The recipe goes by many other names, but whatever it's called, it's quick, easy and delicious!

Here's the small version:

1 tube crescent rolls
1/2 t. vanilla
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened (I always use "light")

Topping:

1 egg white
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped nuts (pecans or almonds are good)

Lay 1/2 of  the crescent rolls flat into an 8 x 8" pan.  Mix the vanilla, sugar and egg yolk into the cream cheese.  Spoon this mixture over dough.  Lay remaining 1/2 of the crescent rolls on top.

Whisk egg white; brush over dough. Mix the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top of the egg white.  Sprinkle on the chopped nuts. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.  Makes 8 slices.
