Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Beat together cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
Unroll and cut the puff pastry sheet into 6 rectangles. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag, then cut off the tip of the bag. Pipe a thick line of the mixture onto the center of each rectangle.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
Brush the edges of each puff pastry with the egg wash.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
Cool the pastries on a wire rack before serving.

Make sure your puff pastry is cold so it puffs up perfectly in the oven. If you're using frozen puff pastry, thaw it for at least 20 minutes at room temperature before use.
Make this Starbucks Cheese Danish recipe sweet or savory! You can add a spoonful of blackberry jam on top or drizzle the warm pastries with honey before serving. If you prefer a savory Danish, skip sugar and vanilla and top it with sliced jalapenos or sauteed onions instead!
You can refrigerate your leftovers for up to 5 days and reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 8 minutes or until crispy. These treats also freeze well for up to 3 months. Flash-freeze them on the lined baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
