Cheese Danish Pie Recipe

Cheese Danish Pie

From saruwatari 16 years ago

A deliciously creamy pie that can be eaten in slices or cut into squares for party servings. Perfect for people who enjoy cheese danishes.

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit
Mix the lemon extract, vanilla extract, 2 of your egg yolks, sugar, and cream cheese in a large bowl (on a high setting if you're using an electric mixer).
Lightly butter the inside of a 12 inch pie pan
Open and spread one package of crescent roll dough over the entire inner surface of the pan, making sure no holes are present.
Fill with the cream cheese mixture and leave about a quarter inch of dough showing around the top edge of the pan.
Cover the filling with the second package of dough and attach to the dough left around the edge of the pie pan. Brush the dough with the third egg yolk.
Score the dough before placing into the oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
Serve cold or at room temperature

I... Never realized I left that out. Yes, you coat the top of the dish with the third egg yolk. It makes it a pretty golden color, and gives a bit of extra flavor to the pie!

Thanks for the recipe. I think I'll make this tonight as I have all of the ingredients except for the dough. It sounds yummy! I do have a question for you. In the recipe, you only use 2 egg yolks. What do you do with the third egg yolk? Is it for the top of the dough or do you add it eventually to the cheese mixture?
