Never have to choose between breakfast or dessert with this delicious Breakfast Cheesecake recipe. With a sweet, creamy filling surrounded by flaky crust it is the perfect coffee pairing or brunch dish.

I love breakfast food, almost as much as I love dessert. Although dessert for breakfast may be frowned upon, no one is going to judge you for this breakfast cheesecake. It’s like the rich, creamy goodness of a cheesecake with the breakfast dignity of a danish. And did I mention is SO easy to make? Seriously, 5 ingredients + 30 minutes.

Flaky, golden brown but soft and creamy in the middle. Perfect with some fruit on top (or dare I say powdered sugar? Chocolate syrup?). This is best served warm from the oven, but it refrigerates and reheats really well. Don’t microwave it for too long though, 15-20 seconds is all it needs. This is one of those dishes that I end up eating the entire pan one-seemingly-harmless-spoonful at a time.

Notes

Try to keep the seams together, and don't worry if they don't completely touch the edges of the pan. It will puff up while baking. You can also use the new Pillsbury seamless crescent roll dough.

This is my go-to recipe for brunches! I add almond extract with vanilla. It's scrumptious!

Wow! I love that it only has a few ingredients and is so easy to make. I can even make it with low-fat cream cheese and it would still be good. It looks awesome!
