Cheese Danish Madeleines

The round, often cheese-filled pastries known in the united states as danishes are originally from Vienna, Austria. The combination of flaky, buttery pastry stuffed with a range of fillings—from chocolate and cheese to custard and jam—make them a much-loved morning treat. The ricotta cheese filling in these madeleines tastes rich but light, making them less dense but every bit as tasty as a true danish.
