fruit danish

Glazed breakfast treat

A fruit danish is a pastry made from laminated dough—buttery layers similar to croissant dough—folded into a shape that holds a fruit filling, typically apple, cherry, or berry.

The filling sits in a center well or along a folded seam, often with a drizzle of icing.

Standard breakfast fare at bakeries and coffee shops: I grabbed a fruit danish on my way to work.
