I picked up the needed supplies at the store on Friday so that we could have just out of the oven delights on Saturday.
I followed the recipe as written on the food network, but I did put the cheese filling in the frig for about 20 minutes since I forgot to thaw the pastry dough. Once the dough was warm enough to unfold, I continued with the recipe as written. I cut the dough into quarters and filled like this.
By this time I was getting too hungry. I skipped the step that says chill for 20 minutes once the pastry is filled. I just could not wait any longer. So into the oven went the pan, and 20 minutes later I had warm cheese danish. I added a little icing just like my favorite bakery. It is just a quarter cup of confectioners' sugar and a teaspoon of water, but it is so so good.
For a twist you can add a little jam just before baking, and that would be really great too! Next time I will give that a try.

Thank you for the pictures...they are great! One question, was the fiiling enough to compliment all of that dough? The dough gets so fluffed up but I wondered in 1Tbsp. would give it that rich, cheesy taste I love in a cheese danish.
I guess I did scoop a little more than the recommended tablespoon. I used all the filling for 8 danish. They were busting at the seams with the filling, in fact, a few did over flow on the parchment, but it did not effect the tasty goodness of the pastry.
