Blueberry Danish

Holidays are about family & food! Never let a holiday dinner overshadow a holiday breakfast or brunch — they are both equally as important. Jackie is here to help with these amazingly easy homemade blueberry danishes. Most ingredients you may have laying around the house, if not – we have you covered. Feel free to switch blueberries for another fruit.

Ingredients:

• 1 Sheet of puff pastry
• 6oz whipped cream cheese
• 1/4 granulated sugar
• tsp vanilla extract
• Zest from 1/2 lemon
• Zuice from 1/2 a lemon
• 6oz blueberries (or any berry)

Directions:

• Thaw out a sheet of puff pastry 
• Cut pastry into 6 equal sections  
• Lightly score the pastry by drawing a rectangle with a knife about 1/2” from the edge  
• Poke the center of the puff pastry (inside the rectangle) with a knife or fork so that it doesn’t puff up while baking 
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together 6 ounces of room temperature or whipped cream cheese, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, tsp of vanilla extract, zest from 1/2 a lemon, and juice from 1/2 a lemon 
• Spread about 2-3 tbsp of filling in each section 
• Scatter a handful of blueberries on each danish 
• Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes, rotating the pan at the 10 minute mark
