Strawberry Cream Cheese Danish
When it comes to easy and impressive recipes puff pastry is one ingredient I always have on hand. Puff pastry is a laminated pastry, made with layers of butter and dough fold over and rolled out several times. This creates a pastry that is light and flaky. Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets are my FAVORITE.
INGREDIENTS
▢ 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature ½ package
▢ 3 tablespoons sugar
▢ 1 egg yolk
▢ 1 sheet puff pastry ½ 450g box, cold
▢ 1 egg white
▢ 1 tablespoon water
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and egg yolk until smooth.
Roll out puff pastry into a rough 12″ by 12″ square. Cut in half down the middle and cut each side into 4 rectangular pieces. Divide cream cheese mixture between 8 pieces of puff pastry and spread to within ½” of the outside.
With a fork, beat egg white and water until combined. Brush around the exposed edges of the puff pastry.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool 20-30 minutes.
Top with fresh strawberry filling and a thin sliced strawberry. And sprinkle powdered sugar
