King's Hawaiian Cheese Danish
Directions
- 1Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- 2Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- 3Place one package of King's Hawaiian original sweet rolls (12 count) in the baking dish.
- 4Use a steak knife to cut a square across the top of each roll, halfway down, and pop out the cut portion.
- 5Melt one stick (half a cup) of butter in a bowl in the microwave for about 45 seconds.
- 6Add two tablespoons of brown sugar and one teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the melted butter and blend with a pastry brush.
- 7Slather the butter mixture all over the rolls, including the sides, tops, and inside the cut portions, making sure it sinks to the bottom.
- 8In a medium bowl, cream one eight-ounce package of very soft cream cheese with a fork until soft and creamy.
- 9Add three tablespoons of white granulated sugar to the cream cheese and combine.
- 10Crack and beat one egg in a small bowl before adding it to the cream cheese mixture, then mix until combined.
- 11Spoon the cheese mixture into the centers of the rolls, filling them up to the top edge.
- 12Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- 13Check the internal temperature of the cheese mixture with a thermometer to ensure it reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit due to the egg.
- 14Once out of the oven, let them rest for about 10 minutes to allow the cheese mixture to solidify.
