Almost Cheese Danish Turnovers image

Adapted from a Sara Moulton recipe, this isn't a bakery Danish but hey, what do you expect in 30 minutes or less using sliced bread? ;-) For me, it's another toaster oven opportunity.

Time 30m

Yield 2 turnovers, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 slices whole grain bread, crusts removed
2 tablespoons part-skim ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese, room temperature
1 teaspoon sugar (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Roll out bread with a rolling pin until flattened to about 1/16 of an inch.
  • Stir together both cheeses, sugar and cinnamon until smooth.
  • Brush some of the butter on the edges of the bread.
  • Mound one half of the cheese mixture in the middle of each piece of bread.
  • Fold over the bread to form a triangle and enclose the filling. Pinch the edges of the bread firmly together to form a seal.
  • Arrange in one layer on a small baking sheet and brush the top of each turnover with the remaining butter.
  • Bake the turnovers in the middle of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until pale golden.
