Hello and welcome to in the kitchen with Matt, I am
your host, Matt Taylor.
Today, I'm going to show you how to make a cheese Danish.
Oh, yeah.
I love Danish shares and pastries and I love
puff pastry.
And this Danish is super easy to do.
Simple ingredients.
If I can do it, you can do it.

Let's get baking down in the description box.
You'll find the list of the ingredients and their amounts.
I have eight ounces of cream cheese and I'm going to just a
splash of vanilla extract and then I want to add a teaspoon
of some kind of citrus.
You can do lemon juice, lime juice or orange juice.
I'm using orange juice.
That's just the kind of flavor that I want.
And then two to four tablespoons of white
granulated sugar, depending on how sweet you want the
cheese to be.
And then we're going to do one egg yolk and it'll come in
with a mixer.
And this was softened beforehand.
The cream cheese.
I just left it up for a few hours at room temperature.
I scraped down the sides.
All right, that is looking good now that the filling is ready,
I'm just a little spoon there must set this aside then.
I have an egg, a full egg with the yolk and the white and then
about a couple of teaspoons of water in there.
I just want to make an egg wash.
Just take a fork and whisk this up.
And the egg wash is going to give us a nice golden brown
texture to the pastry side.
And I have a little bit of flour here.
I'm just going to dust my cable with some flour and then I'll
take my puff pastry.
This is just a Pepperidge Farm brand that I got
at my supermarket.
You can make a homemade puff pastry, too, if you like.
And I'm going to fold this out, remove the parchment
paper that's in there.
And now we want to cut this into four squares.
I'm just going to take a pizza roll here and go right
down the middle.
And then right down the middle again.
And what we do is we come in here and we want to fold the
corners and take some egg wash.
And we'll put some egg wash down on these corners.
I would just fold the corners in.
Just kind of stick it down.
So that makes an octagon shape and you can shape it however
you want, you can leave it as a square too, if you want it.
And then what we'll do is we'll come over here with
our cheese.
And what some.
Right there in the middle,
don't want to go overboard just a couple of tablespoons and
then come back in with your egg wash and where you see.
Puff pastry exposed.
Just give that a nice
basting egg wash and then a couple of things that you
can do, I have I always have a cinnamon and sugar blend on
hand because I use it for so many things and you can take
the seven sugar
and just.
Tap her own opinion.
What you want, OK?
I like the Semin Sugar Omondi that I'm going to two of them
with cinnamon sugar and the other two I'll just deal
with normal sugar.
Also at this time, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
and then I'm just going to pick up this little pastry on bake
pastry and put it over here on a pan lined with parchment
paper or a silicone mat.
And you will probably have some of that cream cheese filling
left over unless you do two sheets worth so you can get
eight of these or two sheets with that cream cheese filling
just depends on how much you put in the middle.
But you can do up to eight of them if you want.
I'm only doing four right now and I'm going to now put this
in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until pops up and gets
nice and golden brown on that step.
And when they come out of the oven, they'll look
something like this.
They may or may not get a little bit brown on top of
the cream cheese.
And that's OK if it does.
Don't worry about it.
Now, you just let him cool for 10 or 15 minutes before
serving them up.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
They've cooled down.
I moved him over to this place.
They look amazing.
I'm going to take a bite out of one, so show you what
it looks like.
Oh, yeah.
Hmm.
All right, the cheese danishes are done,
turned out fantastic, really easy to do.
If I can do it, you can do it.
Another thing you can do is you could add some like preserves,
like some strawberry preserves or different kind of flavors
of preserves, jelly jam, whatnot.
Also, you can put like some fruit on the top when you bake
it as well, or after the fact you get dusted with
powdered sugar, whatever you want to do, maybe do a little
glaze and you can do some glaze on there.
Totally up to you.
