Breakfast Danish

I LOVE to cook breakfast on the weekends!  Throughout the week, with everyone rushing to get to work and school, cereal is usually the 'go to' meal but on the weekend I like to spruce it up a bit.  So today I thought that I'd share one of my family's favorite breakfast dishes....breakfast danish.

Linking up with Heather and Johanna for today's post.

I got this recipe from a family member who got it from a coworker so I don't know where it actually originated...but it is a good one.

As you can tell from the picture...I have used this recipe a time or two.

As you can also see, my recipe is title Breakfast Bread; my blog post is titled breakfast danish AND you'll probably hear it referred to in our home as "the cinnamon/sugar cream cheese stuff".

SIDENOTE:  Instead of mixing together sugar and cinnamon (ingredients for B.), I just use store bought Cinnamon/Sugar combo.

Preheat your oven to 350.

So you'll want to mix 16 oz of cream cheese (softened works best), 1 cup of sugar, the egg yolk and 1 tsp of vanilla (which is missing here because I used it all in home-ade ice cream the night before) together until all nice and creamy.

Then you will take 1 can of the crescent rolls and roll them out onto the bottom of a greased 9x13 baking dish...

Next you'll spread your cream cheese mixture atop the layer of crescent dough.

Then roll out the 2nd roll of crescents on top...

Brush the top of the crescent dough with the reserved egg white...

and sprinkle generously with Cinnamon/Sugar.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.  Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

Finished product...resting

Delicious!!!

It is great served hot with a side of bacon but it is also delicious cold and even the next day as leftovers.

Give it a try this weekend...I promise you will not be disappointed.

Until Next Time,

Heather
