Cheese Danish

by

Many people are getting ready for Thanksgiving and possibly guests who will stay with them. I have always loved Thanksgiving. It’s the kick off to the holiday season and is a wonderful holiday because it’s a time for visiting and eating. Here is an easy recipe that can be used at every meal this Thanksgiving. Best of all, it’s easy, fast, and simply delicious.

Cheese Danish

2 packages of Crescent rolls
2 packages 8 oz. cream cheese
1 cup of sugar

First, set out cream cheese until it’s soft. Then mix it with the sugar in a bowl. One you have it mixed well, set aside. Then take a 9×13 inch pan and unwrap one package of crescent rolls. Line the bottom of the pan with these. There’s no need to grease the pan. Now add the cream cheese/sugar mixture on top of the crescent roll dough. Spread it evenly. Then top it with the second package of crescent rolls.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place in oven and cook for thirty minutes or until top is lightly brown. Remove from oven and let cool.

To add more flavor, add your favorite jellies or jams to the mix before cooking. You can even use fresh fruit if you like.

This makes a great breakfast pastry or a nice dessert. Plan to make more than one because this creation will go fast. Cheese Danish is one of my favorite desserts at Thanksgiving. It ranks right up there with pecan pie in my book. It’s a shame since it is so easy to make that we don’t make it more often. But it’s like many treats, it just tastes better during the holidays.
