Cheese And Cherry Danishes

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

3. Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into 6 equal squares.

4. Spoon a dollop of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each pastry square, spreading it slightly but leaving a border around the edges.

5. Top the cream cheese mixture with a spoonful of cherry pie filling.

6. Take two opposite corners of each pastry square and fold them over the filling towards the center, overlapping slightly and forming a point.

7. Brush the exposed pastry with the beaten egg to give the danishes a golden-brown shine when baked.

8. Place the assembled danishes on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each pastry.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the danishes are puffed and golden brown.

10. Remove from the oven and let the Cheese and Cherry Danishes cool slightly on the baking sheet.

11. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
