When we travel, one of our splurges for breakfast are strawberry cheese danishes. While I make a breakfast cheesecake for Christmas morning that is similar in taste to cheese danish, I had not made any other danishes at home. It was time to change that!
For my husband’s birthday, I thought I would surprise him with strawberry cheese danishes. They were really easy to make and even my daughter helped me.
The crescent roll dough lends the danish to have a airy texture to it, while the cheese mixture is creamy with the sweet fruit on top.
This recipe is perfect to use up fresh fruit before it goes bad. I am really anxious to try other fruits and see how they turn out!
