Cheese Danish Slab Pie

 https://www.thevanillabeanblog.com/good-morning-cheese-danish-slab-pie/   Ingredients 1 sheet 200-285g puff pastry, defrosted if frozen, but still cold (Store bought works great, see note below. Or you can use a half recipe of the rough puff pastry from my first cookbook.) 8 ounces 226g cream cheese, at room temperature 1/4 cup 50g granulated sugar Pinch salt 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/2-1 teaspoon lemon juice 2-3 tablespoons jam I used blackberry-pear, but your favorite jam will work here Powdered sugar for dusting Instructions Heat the oven to 400F. Place a baking stone or half sheet pan on the center rack to heat. (The half sheet pan is slightly larger than the quarter sheet pan used for the slab pie. Preheating a baking stone or half sheet pan and then placing the slab pie pan on it when ready to bake helps brown and crisp up the bottom of the crust. You can skip this step if you don’t have either.) Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the slab
