Ingredients You’ll Need

To create these delectable Breakfast Danishes, gather the following ingredients:

• Puff pastry: 1 sheet (thawed)
• Ground turkey: 200g (or pre-cooked turkey slices)
• Eggs: 2 large
• Cheese: 100g (cream cheese for creaminess and cheddar for flavour works well)
• Onion: 1 small (finely chopped)
• Garlic: 1 clove (minced)
• Salt and pepper: to taste
• Fresh herbs: Optional, such as chives or parsley, for garnish
• Egg wash: 1 beaten egg mixed with a splash of milk, for glazing

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/400°F. A properly heated oven ensures that your pastry will puff up beautifully and turn golden brown.

2. Prepare the Filling

In a frying pan, lightly sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in a drizzle of oil until softened. Add the ground turkey, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook the mixture until the turkey is fully cooked through. If you’re using pre-cooked turkey, just heat it until warmed. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before adding in the cheese (cream cheese and grated cheddar), mixing until combined.

3. Roll Out the Puff Pastry

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases. Cut it into squares, ideally measuring around 10cm x 10cm. You should be able to create either four larger squares or six smaller ones, depending on your preference.

4. Assemble the Danish

Place a generous spoonful of the turkey and cheese mixture in the centre of each pastry square. Crack an egg into a small bowl and beat it lightly, then carefully spoon a little of the egg on top of the turkey filling (reserving some egg for the wash).

5. Fold and Seal

Bring the corners of the pastry squares together to form a parcel, pinching the edges to seal securely. You can also create a more decorative shape if you fancy! Place the assembled Danishes on a lined baking tray.

6. Brush with Egg Wash

Using a pastry brush, apply the egg wash over the tops of the pastries. This will give them a beautiful golden sheen once baked.

7. Bake to Perfection

Transfer the tray to your preheated oven and bake for around 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed up and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!

8. Serve and Enjoy

Once out of the oven, allow the Danishes to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and enjoy your Turkey Egg Cheese Breakfast Danish with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea.

The Versatile Choice

One of the best aspects of the Turkey Egg Cheese Breakfast Danish is its versatility. Feel free to alter the filling based on your family’s preferences. Spinach, bell peppers, or different types of cheese can easily be incorporated for added flavour and nutrition.
