A cheese danish<\/strong> is a sweet, flaky pastry that is popular around the world, especially in the United States. It features a rich cream cheese<\/a> filling wrapped in layers of delicate, buttery puff pastry. With its contrasting textures and flavors, the cheese danish makes for an utterly delicious breakfast treat or snack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The exact origins of the cheese danish are unclear, but most food historians trace it back to Vienna, Austria in the 19th century. According to legend, when Danish bakers went on strike around that time, Austria sent replacement workers and wienerbrod<\/strong> \u2013 also known as \u201cVienna breads\u201d \u2013 to Denmark. These pastries, precursors to the modern-day danish, were an instant hit and the Danes quickly embraced them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, Danish bakers started experimenting with different flavor combinations and eventually created what we now know as the cheese danish. Its popularity spread across Europe and eventually made its way to the United States in the early 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the cheese danish became an American breakfast staple, back in Denmark it is more commonly enjoyed in the afternoon with a cup of coffee. The pastry was likely introduced to the US breakfast menu by Danish immigrants looking to keep a taste of home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
