I love making these on weekends for my two sons when they're craving a fresh-baked croissant but I'm craving a morning of laziness in bed and not an early run to the corner bakery. If you have English muffins, cream cheese, and strawberries, you can make these in a snap! You can skip roasting the strawberries if you like and just use jam in the center instead, but I beg you not to because roasted strawberries have the ability to, oh, you know, change your life and all—ladled over ice cream, swirled into muffin batter, layered with yogurt and granola, blended into smoothies, spooned over pancakes. The danish is the dish but the strawberries are the dish if you catch my drift.
