Everything Bagel Cream Cheese Danish with Lox
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) sheet puff pastry
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1-2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
- 4 oz salmon lox or nova
- ¼ cup thinly sliced green scallions, plus extra for garnish
Directions
1) In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine 8 oz cream cheese, 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning, and sliced scallions. Beat on medium speed until well combined, about 5 minutes.
2) Cut a piece of parchment into a 9 ½ x12″ rectangle. Lay defrosted puff pastry onto parchment. Spread cream cheese mixture lengthwise down the middle of the dough in a 3-inch wide band. Cut salmon into 2″ wide strips and arrange on top of the cream cheese mixture.
3) Using a sharp knife or scissors, cut ½-inch wide strips at an angle into both sides of the dough. Alternate pulling strips of dough from each side over the filling to form a braid.
4) Using the parchment as a sling, carefully transfer danish to a Suvie pan. Insert pan into the bottom of Suvie. → Hold the Tap to Scan tag to the logo on the appliance, rotating the pan halfway through cooking.
