Puff Pastry Cheese And Preserve Danish

A recipe i found at foodtv site for danish recipes. posting it for zwt6. sounds wonderful!!!

Preheat oven to 375 degrees f.

In a small bowl combine the mascarpone , egg yolk , sugar , flour and vanilla.

Stir until just combined and then set aside.

Dust the puff pastry with flour and roll with a rolling pin to flatten and smooth.

Place the puff pastry on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.

Schmear the mascarpone down the middle of the puff pastry lengthwise into a 3-inch wide strip.

Spoon the fruit preserves on top of the mascarpone.

Using sharp kitchen shears cut the long sides of the pastry into 1-inch wide strips.

Cut towards the cheese filling but stop about 1-inch before you get to the filling.

This result will look like fringy pastry.

Alternating sides , fold 1 piece of the fringe over the cheese and jelly mixture.

The result will look like a braided pastry with fruit preserve peeking through.

Brush the dough with the beaten egg yolk mixture.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.

Let cool on a rack for at least 15-20 minutes before serving.
