Ingredients
Gluten and Dairy Free Cheese Danish Sliders give you all of the flavor and texture of your favorite breakfast pastry but without the work of making dough. Using one of my favorite pantry staples this breakfast treat isn’t just easy to make, it’s also easy to shop for.
- Sweet Bread Slider Buns – Canyon Bakehouse Gluten Free Brioche Style Sweet Rolls make the perfect base for these Danishes. They’re also soy free, free of nuts, and made with 100% whole grains.
- Dairy Free Cream Cheese – Gives tangy flavor and silky texture to the filling.
- Powdered Sugar – Lightly sweetens the filling of these cheese Danishes. It also makes up the sweet glaze for the top.
- Lemon Juice – Adds a sunny burst of freshness to the filling.
- Egg Yolk – Not only brings richness to the filling but also helps it slightly puff as it bakes.
- Sugar – Used with the egg wash to create a slightly caramelized exterior to these sweet rolls.
- Sliced Almonds – Gives a little buttery crunch to every bite.
- Egg Wash – One egg whisked together with a tablespoon of water gives these rolls a glossy finish.
- Dairy Free Milk – Use your favorite variety, such as oat milk. Helps thin out the glaze so it can easily be drizzled over the top.
