When Can Babies Eat Danish pastry, with cheese? (12+ Months WHO Safety, Allergens & USDA Nutrients)

A savory-sweet breakfast or dessert pastry, cheese Danishes feature a rich, flaky laminated dough, often shaped into a square or round, with a creamy, slightly tangy cheese filling (typically cream cheese or ricotta) in the center. They offer a delightful contrast of flavors. --- RECIPE --- Servings: 8 Prep Time: 20 minutes Ingredients: - 1 (17.3-ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar - 1 large egg yolk - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash) - For Glaze: - 1/2 cup powdered sugar - 1-2 tablespoons milk - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. In a small bowl, beat softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg yolk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. 3. Unfold one sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it slightly to smooth out creases and make it a bit larger. 4. Cut the pastry into 8 equal squares. 5. For each square, make a small indentation in the center (without cutting through). Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cheese filling into the indentation. 6. Fold the corners of each square towards the center, overlapping slightly, to form a pinwheel or square shape, leaving the cheese filling exposed. 7. Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the exposed pastry edges with beaten egg. 8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. 9. Let cool slightly on a wire rack. 10. For Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. 11. Drizzle or spread glaze over warm pastries. Serve warm or at room temperature.
