Cream Cheese Danish

2 tubes crescent dough sheets
2 8 oz. blocks cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
1 egg, separated
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350°.

Stir together 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

Prepare a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.

Press 1 sheet of crescent dough into the bottom of the dish.

Using a mixer, blend cream cheese, egg yolk, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla. Spread this over the crescent sheet.

Place the second sheet of crescent dough on top of the filling mix.

With a fork, whisk the egg white. Brush some (not all) of the egg white on the top layer of crescent dough. Sprinkle the sugar/cinnamon on top.

Bake at 350° for 15 to 20 minutes.

Note: You can eat this warm as soon as it comes out of the oven. My preference, however, is to chill it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before cutting and serving. This keeps the filling from running out once it has been cut.
