Cheese danish

I have to admit, the word "danish" always scared me a bit. It seemed fancy, and I am not a fancy person. Now, "muffin" I get. That is, until I went over to a friend's house for brunch and tried this delightful little thing. It was "Christmas-morning-worthy." I was a little afraid my picky eater wouldn't enjoy it, but to my surprise, he can't stop eating it.

Do yourself a favor and don't try to figure out the calories on this one. It's not worth it. But it totally is.

Just sayin'.
