Quick and Easy Cheese Danish is a treat I like to prepare on hectic Holiday mornings when I often find myself looking for something quick and easy to prepare my family for breakfast.

Since we will more than likely be eating a heavy dinner, I try to make a smaller breakfast so we save room for the appetizers, entrees, and desserts soon to be invading the buffet. These are so simple to make you can even employ the help of small children who love to help in the kitchen.
