My boyfriend and I love making these but over time we have made a few adjustments. We cook them at 385 degrees otherwise the ends burn and the pastry underneath the cheese is a little soggy. Also, we sprinkle turbinado sugar on the edges! Mmmm thanks Ina!

I follow this recipe exactly regarding measurements. However, I use low-fat ricotta and neufchatel cheese. I also put a spoonful of strawberry preserves on top of the cheese mixture. And instead of just folding the two corners, I fold all four so it looks like a little square. I serve it with a sliced strawberry next to it so folks know what's inside. It is always a hit! My family and friends devour it every time.

This is very easy, simple, and delicious recipe. I personally added an extra tablespoon of the cheese. I also suggest serving it with a raspberry/blueberry perseves or jam, but they are yummy plain: Oh and don't plan on leftovers, because these puppies go fast!! Haha, happy baking and eating to ya'll :

my husband loves cheese danish so I thought I'd try this recipe for him. He raved about the flavor so much that although I don't eat cheese danish I felt I had to try a bite. The lemon and vanilla flavor makes this danish absolutely devine, so much so that I will now be eating this cheese danish also.
Thank you so much for a wonderful recipe Ina!

This was a fantastic recipe. I love Barefoot Contessa. She is just the BEST! I saw that a few other reviewers had written about the taste and maybe it needed a bit more oomph.. so I added extra sugar, around 1/3 cup, 3T ricotta and just a little more lemon zest. Results were wonderful. Topped with some powdered sugar and voila!

Excellent and easy to make after just waking up in order to serve it fresh out of the oven. My husband loved it as is! Only thing I would do is cut back on the lemon just a little bit. And my husband also requested specifically a glaze on top, which was easy enough.

I used the danish dough recipe from Emeril on this website -food network(dotcom. It turned out great. I increased the ricotta to 3 tblsp and decreased the lemon zest to 1 lemon too. I found the cheese filling to be just fine on the sweetness scale but I tend to go more savory than sweet in my personal taste. Another great way to make it sweeter is Paula Dean's Danish Glaze. It is 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 3 or 4 tbls of milk, and 1/2 tsp of almond extract. You just drizzle that over the danish after they've cooled for a few minutes. I'm happy with this cheese filling recipe. I like the way it puffed up and grew with the danish dough. All in all, it turned out really fantastic.

I made my own pastry dough and followed the previous reviewer's recommendation of using 3 T ricotta and the zest of 1 lemon rather than two. Best Danish I ever had in my life. Easy and a huge hit with the family.
