Cream Cheese Danish


The last few years our Christmas morning breakfast has consisted of this cream cheese danish recipe I got from Mamaw and the Breakfast at Williamsburg casserole from the Bellevue Baptist Church Women's Ministry cookbook (which was my go-to cookbook as a newlywed, and still is whenever I break away from Pinterest).  This recipe should probably be classified as a dessert rather than breakfast dish, but on Christmas morning we are celebrating so a little sugar (okay, may be a lot) won't hurt, right!?!

Ingredients:
2 pkgs crescent rolls
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
16 oz cream cheese softened
1 egg
1 stick butter

Directions:
1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2.  Grease 9 x 13 baking dish.
3.  Unroll one can of crescent rolls and press into bottom of dish closing perforated areas.
4.  Combine the cream cheese, one cup of sugar, egg, and vanilla.  Spread over crescent rolls in dish.
5.  Unroll remaining can of rolls and place over the cream cheese mixture, pinching perforation together.
6.  Combine melted butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon.  Spread over top layer of crescents.
7.  Bake 30 minutes. Serve slightly warm

*Makes 16 servings.  You can also add 1 cup chopped pecans to topping.
