1. Kick things off by preheating your oven to a cozy 375 degrees.
2. In a mixing bowl, start with the cream cheese, adding powdered sugar, zesty lemon juice, lemon zest, and egg yolk. Blend them until you achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
3. Now, for the slider buns! Carve out their insides, creating a little pocket for your fillings.
4. Here’s a tip to give your Danish that golden sheen: brush egg wash on the tops of the slider buns, then sprinkle a touch of sugar for that sweet crunch.
5. Fill each bun with your cream cheese concoction, then crown it with the blueberry pie filling.
6. Place your buns in the oven and let them bake for 12-15 minutes until they’re golden and tempting.
7. For the grand finale, mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth. This will be your topping. Generously drizzle it over the sliders, and there you have it—breakfast perfection!

Can I Use Other Fruits Instead of Blueberries?

Yes, you can! While blueberries bring a unique sweetness, you can try with raspberries, strawberries, or even a mixed berry blend.

How Do I Store Leftover Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Danish Sliders?

You can keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If refrigerated, they can last up to 4 days.

Can I Freeze Them for Later?

Yes, you can freeze the Danish. Just ensure they are wrapped tightly and stored in a freezer-friendly container. When ready to eat, thaw and warm them up in the oven.

Notes

Convection Ovens vs Traditional Oven

In convection ovens, the fan promotes even heat distribution, allowing you to bake at a slightly lower temperature. Reduce the recommended baking temperature by approximately 25°F when using a convection oven compared to a standard oven.
