@@inthekitchenwithmatt - Proving that I have absolutely zero willpower, I couldn't wait until the weekend. So, after work tonight I headed to the store to grab some puff pastry. After I got them assembled, I remembered that I had a can of cherry pie filling in the pantry. So, I created a little well in the middle of the cream chease filling and placed a dollop of the pie filling in each one. They turned out really good! I had no idea cheese danish could be so easy to make. Thanks again, Matt. By the way, Jay Norris got three smiley faces from you and I only got two....not that I'm keeping track or anything. LOL! :)

Thanks! These need to be baked in the oven. Do you have an oven on your hot dog push cart? If not, you won't be able to make these. Unless you made them ahead of time at home. The best way would be to wrap them individually in plastic wrap or zip lock bags.

Hi Robert, wax paper is different than parchment paper and should not go in the oven. If the cheese burned you baked it a bit too long.

God oh GOD why are these called Danish... as a Dane i have NEVER seen a danish baker make these not once ever in 40 years.... we make something like it it but it's a dessert pastery no absolutely no cheese it's made with either custard or jam.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Let me ask you something? Are French Fries actually French? Nope. :) Sometimes things are called by a name, even if they are not from that origin. Because everywhere in the States these are called Danishes. Don't get hung up on the name, it doesn't change how it tastes, which is amazing! Also did you watch the whole video? I talked about more options that you can use for the filling. From the popular New York Times cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017898-cheese-danish the difference here is that I used puff pastry instead of a traditional danish pastry dough which is made with yeast but is also a type of laminated dough. Puff pastry is laminated dough as well, but doesn't contain yeast. another from the super popular Food Network www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/trisha-yearwood/easy-cheese-danish-5515491
