Fruit Danish

Real Simple, 2006

Makes 4 servings

    1 8-ct. tube crescent roll dough                               
    Flour for work surface                                         
    4 tablespoons cream cheese                                     
    4 tablespoons strawberry jam (or any kind of jam)              

Heat oven to 400F.  Carefully unroll the dough on a lightly flowered surface.  Divide along the dotted lines into 4 equal rectangles.  Working with 1 rectangle at a time, gently pinch and smooth the dough to eliminate the diagonal dotted lines.  Trim the dough along one side to approximate a square.  Place 1 tbsp of cream cheese and 1 tbsp of jam in the center of each square.  Fold each corner to the center of the square, pinching them together.  Transfer to baking sheet.  Bake until golden brown, 18-20 minutes.

MY NOTE: I bet this could work like hamentaschen too.  Instead of bring the corners to the center, you could just fold them back on themselves so the center is exposed.  Might make for a chewy fruity center.
