Cooking Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 baking dish by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.

In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, 1 whole egg, and 1 to 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Unroll the crescent rolls and pinch the seams together to create a solid sheet of dough. Place half of the crescent roll dough in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crescent roll layer, spreading it evenly to cover the dough.

Place the remaining crescent roll dough on top of the cream cheese mixture, pinching the seams together for a cohesive top layer.

In a small bowl, whisk together the second whole egg. Brush the egg wash over the top of the danish to give it a nice golden color while baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.

While the danish is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Once baked, remove the danish from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before applying the glaze.

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled danish and add any desired toppings such as fruit preserves or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.

For the best results, verify that the cream cheese is softened before mixing to achieve a smooth filling. Don't skip the cooling step, as it allows the filling to set properly, making slicing easier.

Feel free to experiment with different flavorings, such as adding lemon zest to the cream cheese for a fresh twist or incorporating fruit preserves either in the filling or as a topping. Enjoy your delicious Crescent Cheese Danishes!
