The salty, crunchy bacon balances the sweet maple glaze and cream cheese filling; and tops a golden, flaky Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry.

It is AMAZING and you are going to LOVE it!

I have recently become obsessed with Maple Glazed Bacon Donuts at our local bakery. They are so sweet and salty… my favorite combination.

And so I wanted to create my own version in the kitchen.

Who doesn't like bacon? When I was telling my mother what I was making, she thought I had lost my mind.

"Bacon on danishes? Why would you do that?" she asked.

I answered, "You just wait! You are going to love this cream cheese danish with maple and bacon, mom."

steps

Follow these simple steps to make maple glazed bacon and cream cheese danishes.

1. Thaw Puff Pastry sheets 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, cook bacon until crispy and drain all grease off the bacon.
3. In a mixing bowl, mix maple syrup and cream cheese together until creamy and smooth to make the filling.
4. Once thawed, roll the Puff Pastry Sheets out on a lightly floured cookie sheet. If it cracks in the creases, no worries because you will cut them in thirds and then halves like pictured above. Using a pizza cutter makes slicing the Puff Pastry easy. Next, lightly score a rectangle in each Puff Pastry slice.
5. Add maple cream cheese filling and spread filling in the rectangle center of the pastry.
6. Top cream cheese filling with evenly cut bacon.
7. Make an egg wash and brush the outside of the pastry with the wash to create a pretty golden brown crust.
8. Bake the danishes in the oven. While they are baking, make the maple glaze. Once danishes are cooked, allow them to fully cool.
9. Add the Maple Glaze and you have a beautiful fall danish perfect for entertaining…

…or eat them all up by yourself! If you don't tell, I won't!
