Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking pans with parchment paper.
- Beat the whole egg with 1 teaspoon of water in a small bowl; set aside.
- Beat the egg yolk, cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth.
- Lay out the 2 sheets of puff pastry and cut each into 4 squares. Fold the corners of the squares over by about 1 inch to make octagon shapes. Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into the center of each (about 2 tablespoons per); do not spread the cream cheese. Brush all of the exposed pastry with the egg wash, then dust generously with sugar.
- Bake until puffed and golden brown all over, about 18 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
CHEESE DANISH
Even a great store-bought Danish will never taste as fresh as one you've baked yourself. Our streamlined process for making the dough minimizes the work while still giving you buttery, flaky results. Top this classic cheese filling here with a few raspberries, blueberries or even a dollop of your favorite jam just before baking, if you like.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, 1/4 cup/32 grams confectioners' sugar, the egg yolk, the salt and the vanilla until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag; set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a 12 1/2-inch square. Trim 1/4 inch off each edge. Cut the dough into nine 4-inch squares. Brush the corners of each square with a bit of the beaten egg, then fold each corner into the center and press down gently. Transfer the squares to 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Cut the tip off one corner of the filled plastic bag so you have a 1/2-inch hole. Use the bag to pipe the cheese filling onto the center of each dough square. Loosely cover the pastries with plastic wrap and let stand until slightly puffed, about 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes. Heat oven to 425 degrees.
- Remove the plastic and gently brush the top and sides of the dough with the beaten egg. Bake for 10 minutes, then rotate the sheets and reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Continue to bake until pastries are puffed and deep golden brown, another 6 to 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining 1 cup/128 grams confectioners' sugar and the milk. Let the Danish cool slightly on the sheet then drizzle with the glaze. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Place the cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and cream them together on low speed until smooth. With the mixer still on low, add the egg yolks, ricotta, vanilla, salt, and lemon zest and mix until just combined. Don't whip!
- Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured board and roll it slightly with a floured rolling pin until it's a 10 by 10-inch square. Cut the sheet into quarters with a sharp knife. Place a heaping tablespoon of cheese filling into the middle of each of the 4 squares. Brush the border of each pastry with egg wash and fold 2 opposite corners to the center, brushing and overlapping the corners of each pastry so they firmly stick together. Brush the top of the pastries with egg wash. Place the pastries on the prepared sheet pan. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry and refrigerate the filled Danish for 15 minutes.
- Bake the pastries for about 20 minutes, rotating the pan once during baking, until puffed and brown. Serve warm.
DANISH ORANGE MARMALADE CHEESE POCKETS
In a wild and crazy moment, I decided my life wasn't complete if I didn't attempt making danish pastry from scratch. The results were great, but I have a new appreciation for the time and effort that goes into producing a breakfast pastry! This recipe originated in a cookbook by Nick Malgieri. I received the recipe via chef chocolat, who made some modifications; and then I made my own changes. Never having seen the original recipe, I'm not sure how much it has changed. You can make a plain cheese version, but it's a tad boring in my opinion. If you're going to invest the time to make this recipe, add a spoonful of marmalade or other jam/preserves or a sprinkling of chocolate chips to the filling.

Steps:
- Make the pastry dough: Whisk yeast into warm water. Wait 1-2 minutes, then whisk again. Whisk in milk.
- Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Pulse to mix.
- Cut 4 tablespoons butter into thin slices and add to processor. Pulse to a fine texture -- not too much where it becomes pasty.
- Cut remaining butter into 1/2 inch cubes and add to processor. Pule twice, 1-2 seconds each time. Remove dough and place in mixing bowl.
- Whisk eggs into yeast mixture and add to dough. Using a rubber spatula, hold blade horizontally. Press/dig spatula down into dough, repeating until dough comes together, turning the bowl while you work. The dough will be soft and sticky.
- Leave dough in bowl, covering dough surface tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1-2 hours.
- Place the chilled dough on a floured surface and sprinkle flour on top. Press dough into a rectangle (twice as long as it is wide).
- Starting at narrow edge farthest away from you, firmly press with a rolling pin in short parallel strokes. Seal any sticky areas with a bit of flour, and don't allow dough pieces to stick to rolling pin. Repeat, then press once across width of dough. You should have a 1/2 inch thick rectangle.
- Sprinkle flour above and below dough.
- Rolling Directions: Create a rectangle 18 x 8: Starting on the edge nearest you, roll once away from you in length and once in width. Do NOT roll over the end/edge of the dough.
- Folding Directions: Fold the two narrow ends in toward the middle, leaving a 1 inch gap in the center. Fold the top to bottom to form 4 layers. Turn dough so folded edge is on the left.
- Repeat rolling and folding directions. Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate at least 2 hours, but no more than 12 hours.
- Filling: Add filling ingredients (except marmalade and chocolate chips) to a medium-size bowl. Beat together with a spatula (I use my KitchenAid mixer).
- Place HALF of the chilled dough on floured surface and sprinkle with flour.
- Using a rolling pin, press the dough in firm, parallel strokes to soften it. Flour surface and dough again if needed. Roll dough out into a 12 x 16 inch rectangle.
- Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Slide dough onto first cookie sheet and refrigerate 10 minutes (until firm).
- Repeat the above process with the second half of the pastry dough and place on second cookie sheet and chill 10 minutes until firm.
- Remove dough from refrigerator, leave dough in place on parchment paper. Cut each sheet of dough into 12 4-inch squares, keeping them in place on the parchment paper.
- Drop a heaping teaspoon of filling onto the center of each square. Top with a heaping teaspoon of marmalade or chocolate chips.
- Fold the dough corners into the middle, overlapping the filling by about 1/4 inch. Cover and let rise 20-30 minutes until they begin to puff. I did not notice much puffing.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Prepare the egg wash and brush to top of each pastry. Sprinkle with almonds or additional chocolate chips.
- Bake 15-20 minutes or until pastry is golden and filling is set. My pastries were done at 15 minutes, so start checking after 10 minutes.
- Cool on wire rack.
- Combine icing ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook over very low heat until lukewarm. Drizzle icing over slightly cooled pastry and allow to set.

Steps:
- 1. For the dough: Combine the flour, granulated sugar, yeast and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add the butter and pulse to combine. The mixture should be the size of small peas. Transfer mixture to a medium-size bowl.
- 2. In a small bowl, combine the egg, milk and 2 tbsp. water. Add the egg mixture to the flour. Using a rubber spatula, fold the mixture until it is evenly moistened. Place the dough onto a piece of cling wrap and shape into a small rectangle (make sure it is wrapped well). Chill for approximately 3 hours - up to a day.
- 3. Lightly flour the surface and rolling pin and roll out your dough into a rectangle (8 x 15 inch). Have the short side facing you and then fold the dough into thirds (as you would fold a letter) - folding the top third of dough down and the bottom third up. The dough will appear rough and flecked with pieces of butter, but as you roll out your dough, it will come together. Rotate your dough and repeat the folding process two more times. Continue dusting the work surface including your hands and the rolling pin with flour. Wrap the dough in cling wrap and refrigerate for approximately 1 hour.
- 4. Roll and fold the dough one more time. Refrigerate the dough if it becomes difficult to roll. Now wrap the dough in cling wrap one more time and refrigerate approx. 2 hours or overnight.
- 5. For the filling: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar, the egg yolk, salt and vanilla until smooth. Add mixture to a resealable plastic bag and set aside.
- 6. Roll out your dough to approximately a 12 1/2-inch square. Cut 1/4 inch off each edge and then cut dough into 9 4-inch squares. Brush the corners of each square with some of the beaten egg and then fold each corner into the center and press down gently. Move the squares to two parchment-lined baking sheets.
- 7. Snip the tip off one corner of the plastic bag to make a 1/2 inch hole. Pipe cheese filling onto the center of each dough square. Loosely cover the pastries with cling wrap and let them stand until slightly puffed up, approximately one hour or slightly longer.
- 8. Meanwhile, heat oven to 425 degrees. Remove the cling wrap and gently brush the tops of the pastry with the beaten egg. Bake for 10 minutes and then rotate sheet pans and reduce the oven temp to 375 degrees. Continue baking until they are puffed and golden brown in color, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- 9. Combine and whisk together the remaining 1 cup of confectioner's sugar with the milk. Let the pastry cool slightly on the pans and then drizzle with the glaze. Serve warm or at room temperature.
