Strawberry Cream Cheese Breakfast Pastries Recipes

EASY STRAWBERRY PASTRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and strawberry jam until smooth and creamy.
• Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into four rectangles. Press firmly along the triangle perforations to seal. Place rectangles on an ungreased baking sheet (or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper).
• Divide cream cheese mixture evenly between the four pieces of dough, spreading on one half of each rectangle and leaving a thin border around the edges. Arrange strawberry slices on top of cream cheese mixture, using about 1 1/2 strawberries per pastry (or whatever fits).
• Fold dough over filling so that edges meet, and press along edges firmly with a fork to seal. Brush top of each pastry with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Using a sharp knife, cut three diagonal slits on surface of each pastry.
• Bake for 13 to 16 minutes or until pastries are a deep golden brown. Place pan on a wire rack and cool pastries for 10 minutes before removing with a spatula and serving warm.

STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE BREAKFAST PASTRIES

Steps:

• Thaw puff pastry according to directions on package and halfway through thawing preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• While puff pastry is thawing, in a small bowl and using a rubber spatula, mix together cream cheese, jam and food coloring while pressing mixture along bottom and sides of bowl to smooth large lumps.
• Transfer to refrigerator until ready to use (so it's not runny, you can flash chill in freezer if you prepared this near the end of the pastry thawing).
• Cut pastry into heart shapes using a 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter (space them as close together as possible so you can get as many as you can out of the sheet).
• Transfer hearts to a baking sheet lined with a silicone liner or parchment paper, spacing 1 1/2-inches apart.
• Using a sharp pairing knife, lightly score a heart inside of each cut-out heart coming about 1/3-inch from the edge, without cutting entirely through bottom of the dough.
• Add 1 tsp of the cream cheese mixture to center of each heart then spread outward without covering the 1/3-inch edge.
• Add strawberries over cream cheese layer, again without covering the edge. Using your fingertip brush the 1/3-inch edge with egg/water mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven 14 - 15 minutes until edges are golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack then dust with powdered sugar. Serve the day they are prepared.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper.
• Place flour in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 1/4 cup water; stir roughly with wooden spoon until dough mostly comes together.

• In medium bowl, stir together all Filling ingredients except jam. In small bowl, beat Egg Wash ingredients with whisk.
• Place 1 teaspoon jam and cream cheese mixture on each dough square. Brush edges of each square with egg wash. Top with another square. Using fork, press edges together. Prick top with fork; brush with egg wash. Continue with remaining dough, re-rolling as necessary.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks to cool.
• In medium bowl, beat powdered sugar, vanilla and 2 teaspoons of the milk with whisk until smooth. Add more milk or powdered sugar as needed to get the perfect consistency. Transfer icing to resealable sandwich plastic bag; snip off 1 corner. Pipe swirly shapes onto each pastry. Serve warm or cool.

FRUIT AND CREAM CHEESE BREAKFAST PASTRIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC), and prepare two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until fully combined.
• Lightly flour the surface and roll out puff pastry on top to flatten.
• Cut each sheet of puff pastry into 9 equal squares.
• On the top right and bottom left of the pastry, cut an L shape approximately ½ inch (1 cm) from the edge.
• NOTE: This L shape should reach all the way down and across the square, however both L shapes should not meet at the ends. Your pastry should look like a picture frame with two corners still intact.
• Take the upper right corner and fold down towards the inner bottom corner. You will now have a diamond shape.
• Place 1 to 2 teaspoons of the cream cheese filling in the middle, then place berries on top.
• Repeat with the remaining pastry squares and place them onto the parchment covered baking sheet.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and puffed.
• Enjoy!
