BLUEBERRY-CREAM CHEESE PULL-APART BREAD

Steps:

• Roll and stretch the dough into a 12-inch square on a lightly floured surface. Combine the cream cheese, lemon zest and nutmeg in a bowl. Spread over the dough. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons each granulated sugar and sliced almonds, then the blueberries, pressing lightly. Cut into 16 small squares and make 4 stacks of 4 squares each.
• Place each stack on its side in a buttered 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Gently separate the dough layers so the dough fills the pan. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon each granulated sugar and sliced almonds.
• Cover the loaf loosely with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until the dough rises by half its size, 1 to 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350. Bake the loaf until it's browned and cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes (tent with foil if it's browning too quickly). Let cool 15 minutes in the pan, then loosen the edges with a knife. Remove to a plate and let cool 30 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

LEMON BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Grease the bottom of a 9 by 9-inch baking pan with butter. Then place parchment paper over the top, pressing down at the corners. In a food processor, process the sugar, cinnamon and graham crackers until you have the texture of bread crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse a couple of times to fully incorporate. Pour into the lined baking pan and gently pat down with the base of a glass. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes until golden. When done set aside to cool.
• Add cream cheese, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice and sugar to the food processor and mix until well combined. It should have a smooth consistency. Pour onto the cooled base and then cover with blueberries. They will sink slightly but should still be half exposed -- as the cake bakes they will sink a little more and break down.
• Bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until the center only slightly jiggles. Remove from the oven and cool completely before refrigerating for at least 3 hours. Once set, remove from pan using the parchment lining and slice into 10 rectangular bars. Dust with powdered sugar.

BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE GALETTE

Steps:

• Make the dough: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, vinegar and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size pieces of butter. Whisk the egg with 2 tablespoons water; add to the food processor and pulse until a dough just starts to form. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap; shape into a disk, wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Mist a baking sheet with cooking spray. Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round between 2 sheets of floured parchment paper. Remove the top piece of parchment and invert the dough onto the prepared baking sheet; remove the other piece of parchment. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
• Make the filling: Toss the blueberries, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, the lemon juice and cornstarch in a bowl. Whisk the cream cheese, egg yolk, the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and the nutmeg in a separate bowl.
• Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Top with the blueberries. Fold the edge of the dough over the filling. Drizzle the remaining cream cheese mixture over the berries; refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Put an inverted baking sheet in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Brush the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Put the baking sheet with the galette directly on the hot baking sheet in the oven. Bake until the crust is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing.

BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE SCONES WITH YOGURT GLAZE

Steps:

• For the scones: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Add the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and lemon zest to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until it's mostly pea-sized; a few larger chunks are okay. Dump the mixture into a large bowl and gently toss in the blueberries.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, vanilla and almond extract. Pour into the dry ingredients and, using a rubber spatula, mix until about 80 percent of the dry mixture is incorporated. Dollop teaspoon-sized plops of cream cheese all over the mixture, then gently fold the mixture just until the remaining dry ingredients are incorporated. (You want the cream cheese to generally stay intact but it will of course swirl a little.) Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, divide the dough into 8 balls and place them on the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart (they will spread quite a bit). Bake until the tops are lightly browned and the bottoms are golden, 16 to 20 minutes.
• For the glaze: Meanwhile, whisk together the powdered sugar, yogurt and salt in a bowl.
• Let the scones cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 5 more minutes. While they're still a little warm, brush with the glaze, then sprinkle with the sanding sugar, if using. These are best enjoyed the day of.

• Note: The first time I made this, I thought I'd save time and made the blueberry mixture the night before. Bad idea. It wouldn't spread nearly as smoothly as you'd expect a nice pie filling to--stayed kind of clumpy, even after I gently reheated it.
