Cream Cheese Danish Recipe

I got this recipe from my mother in-law, who got it from her sister in-law.  So, it came from Will's aunt, and I don't know where she got it from beyond that. :)

This is my go-to breakfast to bring to a potluck (Bible Study, Sunday School breakfast, etc.)  I love it because you can cut it into smaller pieces if it's just 1 part of the meal, or larger pieces if it's the main course.  It's delicious warm or cold.  Every single time I bring it, I get asked for the recipe and I smile, because it's SO simple and ALWAYS turns out well.  I made it the other day for Bible Study, and thought I'd pass along the recipe to y'all as well. Enjoy!

1. Gather all your ingredients.

2. Separate your egg.

3. Mix together cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk and vanilla. Try not to eat filling.  I won't say anything if you have a little taste though...

4. Spread 1 can of crescent rolls in the pan.

5. Spread cream cheese mixture on top.

6. Spread 1 can of crescent rolls over that.

7. Mix together sugar, cinnamon, and pecans.

8. Brush egg whites over crescent rolls (remind yourself that you need a new brush since the other one umm.. melted.)

9. Sprinkle sugar/cinnamon/nut mixture over that.

10. Bake

11. Enjoy!
