Peach Danish

This sounds YUMOLA to me, and it is a pretty presentation, too. Perfect for brunch!!
(serves 6)

2 cups frozen sliced peaches
1 sheet puff pastry (from a 17.3 oz. pkg.)
4 oz. cream cheese, softened*
2 T. sugar, plus 1/2 t., divided
1 T. flour
1/4 t. ground cinnamon
Water

Thaw the peaches and puff pastry. Beat together the cream cheese, 2 T. sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Unfold pastry and roll to an 11" square. Transfer to a large parchment-lined rimmed* baking sheet. Spread cream cheese mixture down center of pastry. Dry peaches on paper towels and stack onto cream cheese filling. Make diagonal cuts in dough, just up to filling. Fold alternating pastry strips over filling to resemble a braid (one from the left side, then one from the right). Brush with water and sprinkle with 1/2 t. sugar. Bake at 400 for 25 min. or until puffed and golden brown. Let cool 10 min. before slicing. This would be excellent served ala mode with vanilla bean ice cream* or whipped cream*.
