A delightful pastry featuring a rich cream cheese filling and sweet blueberries, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened, 250 grams)
- ¼ cup icing sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh)
- ¼ cup blueberry jam
- 2 sheets puff pastry (thawed, homemade or store-bought)
- 1 large egg (whisked)
- 1 lemon (zested, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line 2 large baking trays with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, icing sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth.
- In another bowl, mix the blueberries with the blueberry jam until combined.
- On a lightly floured surface, unroll the puff pastry sheets and cut them into 9 rectangles.

- Brush the edges of each danish with the whisked egg.
- Spoon about 1 ½ tablespoons of cream cheese mixture into the center of each pastry, then top with the blueberry jam mixture.

- Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until puffed and golden, rotating halfway through.
- Let them cool slightly before serving; optionally sprinkle with lemon zest.
