Mango Breakfast Danish
As we all know by now, summertime is synonymous with mango season, and what better way to start your perky summer day than with a Mango Breakfast Danish. Simple to prepare and delicious to eat! I have to admit I have never actually seen a Mango Breakfast Danish being sold in le shops, but when the idea came to me I thought to myself, ‘surely it can’t be that hard’. I was a bit hesitant at first about the whole “baking the mango” idea, with visions of mango explosions in the oven due to the wet nature of mangoes constantly popping into my mind. However I’m happy to tell you all that no such explosions occurred and that mangoes in fact cook well, and do not become a soggy mess as I was worried about. If you like mangoes and pastry then this is a match made in heaven!
