NOR'S EASY CHEESE FRUIT DANISH BRAID
I love Cheese danish, cake etc. i wanted to use up some frozen puff pastry I had. I combined it with a cheese filling and used a canned Apricot pastry filing to make this easy braid. You can make it plain cheese, or add any fruit pastry filling you desire. I hope you all enjoy this easy delicious pastry.
