What is your Style of Cream Cheese for your Breakfast needs........

[BklynBoy8]

I know in the Breakfast topic we talk about cream cheese for our mostly Breakfast needs.

 

I just saw a TV commercial about cream cheese and thought what style cream cheese do cruisers on land or sea like.

 

I know that cream cheese is used for toast, bagels, bagel w lox or smoked salmon to name a few uses. There is also solid or whipped like Philly's CC.

There is also favored cream cheese that deli's or private vendor have created like scallion, salmon, vegetable to name a few...

 

What Do You Like! Solid or Whipped?

Or Do You Also Like a Particular Flavored CC?

[BklynBoy8]

I personally prefer Whipped for Lox or Smoke Salmon.

 

Flavor locally made, I like Vegetable, Scallion, Cinn Raisin.

 

Sometimes I use CC for making Fruit/CC turnovers. A little in the puff pastry w a fruit jelly or puree. YUM!

I am not a fan of cream cheese, but if I am eating a bagel, a smear of Philly would be OK. (And not fond of bagels either; I had a friend who called them "stale donuts".  I don't think they are that bad.)  Certainly with smoked salmon, some cream cheese would be good.

 

I sometimes bu pastries that have a "cheese" component, such as Cherry Cheese Danish.  I have never determined what type of "cheese" is used.  Could it be a cream cheese?

No one know bagels better than New Yorkers. Done properly they are like feathers. Not bread like and not cake like. But like a Bagel. New Yorkers are lucky to have about 8 styles Plain, Onion, Egg, Garlic, Everything, Cinn Raisin, Rye, Pumpernickel to name the most common. Made right, they are like eating potato chips.

 

Cheese Danish do use a cheese like also our local bakery also make a Cheese ring (about 10"). I have ask my bakery friend get back to this question.

Nothing better than a well made bagel.  They can be found in NY, Boston, Portland and Montreal.  Give me an everything with smoked salmon, whipped cream cheese and sliced onion.

Most cheese fillings for danish and coffeecakes nowadays are made with a cream cheese type filling (and in most in-store bakeries, it is a premade product that comes from a bakery supplier).

 

But the old-fashioned bakeries often used something called baker's cheese, which is similar to farmer's cheese. It is a fresh, soft, uncurded cheese with a light tang. Where I worked many years ago, we made the filling by adding sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, butter, and vanilla to baker's cheese. It was also used in many old-fashioned cheesecake recipes.

Hi Lois, i am doing very well since my triple bypass four weeks ago.  I followed your cruise on Silversea…good reading…wished I was there.  They say the quickest way to get over cruise withdrawal is to book another cruise…lol.

 

So who is cruising next??

Found the answer from my baker friend.

 

What is Baker's cheese?

Basically cottage cheese with some of the moisture drained off. Bakers' cheese has a texture similar to that of fresh ricotta, but with a slightly tangier flavor. It typically isn't available to consumers—most of it is sold for commercial preparations such as blintzes, cheesecakes, pastries and pies.

 

There is the answer...

Now, this is interesting to learn because I don't like cottage cheese.  But, I do like the cheese that the bakeries use in their cheese danish type pastries.  More proof to me that my tastes have changed over the years.  Thanks for the information!

We like both a cheese danish or cheese ring. Sometimes we rewarm it a bit to warm the cheese.

As do I.  A warm danish or croissant enhances my enjoyment of eating it.

As I had mentioned above, baker's cheese is not curded and not grainy like most ricotta is. It is very smooth and can have a dry, almost chalky texture. It's nothing like cottage cheese and can be somewhat tricky to work with when making a cheese filling for pastries. I find it to be superior to using cream cheese as a filling for danish pastries, though.

Thanks for your reply.  I do enjoy such a cheese filling for danish pastries.

Watched the baker make it and it was interesting. Baker Cheese is interesting and the results were tasty. Creamy when warm. We'll warm the cheese ring before handed then place the Confectioner Sugar Icing after ward.

I'm not a huge fan of cream cheese with my smoked salmon. And I don't get a bagel either. I like it on rye toast with sliced avocado. But on Princess they already have the smoked salmon plated with the little balls of cream cheese, capers, onions, and tomato, and occasionally I'll spread a little bit on the toast before topping it with the salmon and avocado.

Good morning, you said you don't get it when it comes to the bagel........in that case I can explain......

You either "get it or you don't".  I have been raised on them since I was old enough to eat LOL......part of my upbringing😀.  LOVE them and am sad that they have so many carbs in them I rarely eat them anymore😟.........as for the cream cheese----LOVE it too.......bagels, lox (smoked salmon) and cream cheese have always been part of my life.
