My family thinks this delicious danish is a real treat. It's a treat to make, too, since you mix it up at night, then just roll it out and bake the next morning.

I'm not a huge fan of apricots, but I loved this danish. The cheese filling and glaze were the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

This danish was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter to the dough next time.

This danish was so easy to make and it turned out so delicious. I used a store-bought puff pastry sheet and it still came out perfect.
