Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll out the pastry dough into a rectangle and cut it into 4-inch squares.
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each square, then top with blueberries.
Fold corners of each square over the filling and pinch to seal the edges.
Mix sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter until crumbly; sprinkle over the pastries.
Whisk together an egg with water and brush over the edges of each danish.
Place danishes on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Allow to cool briefly on a wire rack before serving.
