Strawberry Cream Cheese Breakfast Pastries
Strawberry Cream Cheese Breakfast Pastries – A simplified, perfectly tasty pastry recipe! Made with a flaky layer of store-bought puff pastry, a creamy, tangy sweetened cream cheese filling and fresh strawberry topping. Who wouldn’t love them?
Let’s be honest, what’s the real reason we all love the holidays? I think many of us could say it’s all about the food!
As a side note, just so you aren’t expecting a really sweet dessert, know that these are more mildly sweet than some of the typical pastries and pies you may be used to (just be sure not to use a low-sugar jam here or they won’t have enough sweetness).
I like them this way though as it leaves room for the flavor of the strawberries to shine, it also make it reminiscent of cheesecake which isn’t overly sweet either.
If you do however want them sweeter, add some granulated sugar to the cream cheese mixture and dust with extra powdered sugar when finished.
Ingredients:
- 1 (8.6 oz) sheet puff pastry
