Most of the time I try to have a healthy breakfast which includes fruits, nuts and sometimes, even veggies. But once in a while, I crave something sweet and delicious! I don’t care for something that takes hours to make, so I go to my favorite easy breakfast cheese danish.

Easy Breakfast Cheese Danish Recipe With Crescent Rolls

This easy breakfast cheese Danish recipe will satisfy your sweet tooth craving without keeping you in the kitchen for too long

2 cans ready to use refrigerated crescent rolls
2 packages 8-ounce packages cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg white
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)
2 tbsp milk (for glaze)
preheat oven to 350* degrees
grease a 13X9-inch baking pan
lay a pack of crescent rolls in the pan and pinch the openings together
beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg together until smooth
spread the mixture over the crescent rolls evenly and then lay the second pack of crescent rolls on top of the cheese mixture and brush with egg white
bake for 35-45 minutes until the top is golden brown
top with glaze after cooling for about 20 minutes

I have made this danish using low fat cream cheese and splenda (sugar substitute) and it was delicious!

If you use the half filling method, bake for closer to 30-35 minutes.

Also, the amount of filling the original recipe calls for makes a VERY heavily filled danish. I have halved the filling using 1 package of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 whole egg, and a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and it was still very good.

Strawberry Shortcake

Strawberry Shortcake

Shortcake is a type of biscuit – very sweet to the palate! Most of the time, it is made from the combination of flour, salt, sugar, eggs, milk and so on. Shortcakes are made in different forms but this week, we will be talking about the very easy to make strawberry shortcake.

A Very Easy to Make Strawberry Shortcake

What do you need?

Strawberries (remove stems, rinse then and cut then into smaller pieces) – 2 pounds
Lemon juice (zest the lemon then keep it for the biscuit) – 2 – 4 tablespoons
Granulated sugar – 3 1/2 cup
Zest lemon (grated) – 1 tablespoon
Flour (all-purpose) – 2 cups (flour should be leveled in the cup)
Salt – 1 teaspoon
Baking soda – 1 tablespoon
Cold cream – 1 1/2 cups
Unsalted butter (cold and chopped) – 1/2 cup (1/2 cup is equivalent to 1 stick)
Baking sheets
Mixing bowls
Mixer (hand or with a stand)
Parchment papers
Fork

Procedure:

Macerate the strawberries. Then combine the sugar, strawberries and lemon juice together by tossing them in a mixing bowl. Then allow the mixture to macerate.


To make the biscuit, heat up the oven to about 400°F. Then place parchment paper on a baking sheet. Turn 1/4 of sugar and the lemon zest in a bowl and squeeze or rub together until the scent of the sugar becomes aromatic.


Use the fork to mix the baking powder, flour, and salt together in a big bowl. Also, turn in the butter and ensure to mix the butter in properly – you can use your fingers to turn the butter in the flour mixture until you have a pea-sized pieces formed in the bowl. Also, add in 1 1/4 cream and stir with the form to combine everything in the bowl properly. You should have a sticky dough by now.

Form or make the dough into tall mounds (you can make 7 – 9 mounds for the dough). Use an ice cream scoop or a spoon to make the mounds. Arrange the mounds on the parchment paper already placed on the baking sheet. Sprinkle 1 table spoon of sugar over the mounds then bake for some 15 – 20 minutes to make your biscuit.


Get a mixer (hand or with a stand) ready. To make the whipped cream. To make this, turn the remaining 1 1/2 of the cold cream in the mixer and add some sugar (the remaining sugar), whip or beat the mixture over a medium-high speed rotation of the mixer – beat until you have a form of stiff peaks (make sure you do not over beat the mixture, so note that you do not beat for more than 90 – 95 seconds).


The biscuit make be properly baked by now. Take it out of the oven and split each of the mounds into half. Now your macerated strawberries are needed. Spoon the macerated strawberries on one half of the biscuit then add some of the whipped or bean cream and use the second half of the biscuit to cover it, such that you have the macerated strawberries and the whipped cream sandwiched between each biscuit.


Your very easy to make strawberry shortcakes are ready tor eating, enjoy them!
