About Danish pastry, cheese
Danish pastry is a buttery, laminated dough in the same family as the croissant — folded with layers of butter, but enriched and lightly sweetened so it bakes into a flaky, golden pastry. The cheese version cradles a pocket of sweetened soft cheese, usually based on cream cheese, in the center.
Like its relatives it is rich: about 374 calories per 100 grams with roughly 22 grams of fat, the combination of laminated butter and a cheese filling making it both fatty and sweet. A single Danish is typically 70 to 110 grams, so one can run from 260 to over 400 calories — solidly a treat rather than a light breakfast.
Danishes are a coffee-shop and bakery staple, eaten fresh as a sweet morning pastry. The cheese style sits alongside fruit-filled (apple, cherry, raspberry) and nut or cinnamon versions built on the same dough.
