Roe’s Easy Cheese Danish

History holds that danish began due to an 1850 strike among Denmark’s bakery workers, with recipes from their Austrian replacements helping to inspire the returning employees to tinker with their own pastry creations. Thanks to the disruption and subsequent combination of techniques, we have numerous options when craving flaky goodness, including this Easy Cheese Danish recipe from Roe Lucas.
