Easy Cheese Danish

Laura - this is for you for your breakfast for dinner night! Or it would make a yummy birthday breakfast. It's really easy...make Matt make it for you! I've only made this once and I think that 16 ounces of cream cheese is too much, so I would try maybe half that, or cutting it back some. Lark

Easy Cheese Danish
Serves 8

16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 ½ tsp. vanilla extract
½ cup sugar
2 pkgs refrigerated crescent roll dough
½ cup raspberry or apricot jam
1 egg, beaten
4 ounces sliced almonds

Preheat oven to 350. Mix cream cheese, vanilla and sugar in a bowl.
Unroll 1 can crescent roll dough on a cookie sheet, sealing perforations. Spread filling on dough, leaving ¼-inch edges. Top with jam.
Unroll second can of crescent roll dough and lay on top of first layer. Seal edges with edge of fork. Brush with beaten egg. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
Bake for 30 minutes.

*note: 16 ounces is too much cream cheese. I would recommend only using 8 (1 pkg.) or 10-12 ounces (1 ½ pkgs.).
