Easy Breakfast Cheese Danish 
Ingredients:
For the Danish:
2 cans (8 oz each) crescent roll dough or puff pastry sheets
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup fruit preserves (optional, for fruit-filled versions)
For the Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1–2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the dough: Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into a rectangle, pinching the seams together. Lay it flat on the prepared baking sheet.
Make the filling: In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, egg yolk, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the danish: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Add small dollops of fruit preserves if using.
Top with second layer: Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully lay it over the filling. Pinch the edges to seal.
Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool slightly before adding the glaze.
Make the glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled danish.
Serve: Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
