Cream Cheese Danish

I don't know the origination of this recipe, but I came across it in a family cookbook and now it's a traditional breakfast for my husband's birthday, Father's Day, and my son's birthday. It's super easy, especially if the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start. Also, I generally make it the day before, keep it in the refrigerator, and then cook it on the celebration morning. That way I don't have to wake up hours before breakfast to put it together and then get it cooked and cooled slightly before consumption.
