Quick and Easy Cheese Danish makes any morning feel special. This pastry is easy to prepare and can be adapted to different fruits and fillings.

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.

A breakfast pastry filled with cheese and fresh blackberries.

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.
