Prepare the Strawberries
  1. In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries with granulated sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
Make the Cream Cheese Filling
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Danishes

  2. Place a spoonful of the cream cheese filling in the center of each square, then top with a few slices of macerated strawberries.
  3. Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a pocket and brush the tops with the beaten egg.

Serve
  1. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
