Beat together 12 ounces of cream cheese and 1/3 cup of sugar until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer.

Add 1 egg yolk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix until smooth.

Roll out the puff pastry to roughly a 12 by 15 inch rectangle.

Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the puff pastry, leaving about 2 inches on each end.

Fold the ends of the pastry up over the filling.

Cut diagonal slits on both sides of the pastry without cutting into the filling.

Spread about 1/2 cup of peach jam down the center of the pastry.

Fold the cut strips over the peach jam alternately to create a design.

Tear away excess pastry at the ends and tuck them under.

Transfer the pastry onto a half sheet tray lined with parchment paper.

Brush the top with the reserved egg white for shine.

Sprinkle a little sugar on top for extra crunch.

Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F until puffed and golden.
