This Easy Breakfast Cheese Danish is one of those recipes that feels almost too good to be true. It uses simple refrigerated crescent rolls to create a flaky, buttery base and topping, sandwiching a rich, creamy vanilla-scented cream cheese filling that tastes just like a bakery-style danish.
It’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, holidays, or anytime you need something sweet and comforting without a lot of work. The danish bakes up beautifully golden on top, soft and creamy in the center, and finishes with a light glaze that adds just the right touch of sweetness. Best of all, it feeds a crowd and can be made ahead with very little effort.
