Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Prepare 9x13 baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray.
Roll out one can of crescent rolls and place them in your prepared pan. Using your fingers, gently close all seams so the entire bottom of the dish is covered.
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and egg until smooth.
Spread this mixture over crescent roll dough.
Roll remaining can of crescent rolls out on top of cream cheese mixture.
Again, gently close any seams.
Brush beaten egg white over top of crescent roll dough.
Bake for 35-45 minutes or until top is golden brown.
Prepare icing by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and ½ teaspoon vanilla together.
Drizzle icing over top.
Cut and serve.

You can add in jams, jellies and pie fillings for a bit of extra flavor. I like to use apple, blueberry, or cherry.
Make sure you don’t add too much cream cheese filling to the danish to prevent it from pouring out of the sides.
Substitute the powdered sugar glaze for honey, maple syrup or chocolate syrup.
