Cream Cheese and Jelly Danishes
And just like that, breakfast is served! These super easy Danishes start off with crescent roll dough that gets slathered with sweet cream cheese and topped with a dollop of your favorite jelly. You can enjoy them for breakfast or dessert and they are beautiful to serve for a fancy ladies coffee as well.
My family loves slow Sunday mornings. We don’t always get to do them, but when we do, we plan breakfast with all the fixings! Some eggs, bacon, maybe pancakes or waffles or some times these easy Danishes. My husband isn’t much of a jelly fan, so I’ll add some brown sugar and walnuts to his and he loves it!
Keep the coffee coming and my family can sit for a while chatting about the coming week. The plans we have, things we are looking forward to, dream vacations we’d like to go on.
What do you chat about when the family is sitting around the breakfast table?
One dream destinations I’d like to get (back) to is New Zealand. My parents took me there when I was a kid and I have such fun memories of the islands. Hopefully I’ll get the family there while my kid is still a kid.
In the meantime, I’ll keep dreaming and putting my pennies away while making sweet treats to eat and great memories around the breakfast table.
So, what flavor of jelly would you add to the center of your Danish? I used strawberry because it’s my favorite. Feel free to use blueberry, grape, or even apricot. I bet apricot would be yummy!
These would be an easy Valentine’s Day Breakfast treat. You don’t have to get up too early to make these before everyone goes running off to school and work.
Add some fun sprinkles to make them extra special! 🙂
I could totally go for one of these right now.
What are you waiting for? Plan to make these this weekend for the family.
Try some Nutella and Peanut Butter Crescent Roll Dessert, or this Crescent Roll Apple Pie Cheesecake Bar Recipe. Of course, these 4 Ingredient Everything Crescent Rolls for a dinner side.

I'm sorry that you had to deal with that. I'd be hurt too. That's why I don't make baked goods commercially. I don't take rejection well. Eat a danish for me while you are at it.

Well these just look heavenly! And who the heck could be unhappy with anything you make??!! You are amazing! Eat a danish – that will make you feel better =o)
So sorry Karyn. I hate that – and that's why doing cakes freaks the heck out of me. I'm sure it was amazing!
I loooove these danishes!
You could make me a cake anytime and I would LOVE it!! : )
Hopefully eating these sweet treats cheered you up, wishing you a better day tomorrow!
Yummy crescent roll bundles for hurt feelings sounds good! I always worry about that very thing when I do cakes for orders…it totally freaks me out every time someone picks one up!!! Hope you are having a better day!
I'm sorry you had a disappointed "customer". That's never fun, especially when you feel like you are trying to help them out and do them a favor. I'm sure your cake was wonderful and that particular person had unrealistic expectations! I mean, tell her to look at your blog. Clearly you are a baking genius. 🙂 Hope the rest of the week gets better for you!
Looks delicious! I hope you stop by to link this week- http://atozebracelebrations.com/2013/02/link-party-6.html

I think we need to be compassionate toward those who are crazy. And I am guessing that anyone who would complain about a cake you made is truly crazy 🙂 I made your adorable birthday cake cake pops for my son's birthday (20 for his age and 1 for good luck) and mailed them. He was thrilled. I was thrilled. Thank you!
oh no… so sorry that someone didn't appreciate what you had made. Pinning these danishes :o) I host a Tuesday link party that I would LOVE for you to come check out. http://www.nap-timecreations.com
