Mr. Food: Easy Cheesy Cherry Danish (5-23-2023)

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.

Cut the pastry into squares, about 4x4 inches.

In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square.

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

Fold the corners of the pastry squares towards the center and pinch to seal.

Beat the egg and brush it over the top of each pastry for a golden finish.

Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top of each Danish.

Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and milk to create a glaze.

Drizzle the glaze over the warm Danish before serving.
