Start your 4th of July celebrations with a bang by serving up a festive and easy-to-make American flag breakfast pastry! Made with flaky crescent dough, a luscious cream cheese mixture, vibrant strawberry jam, and fresh blueberries, this delightful treat not only tastes amazing but also looks the part.

Perfect for a patriotic breakfast or brunch, this pastry is a showstopper that will have your family and friends oohing and aahing before they even take a bite. Ready in no time, this recipe combines simplicity with festive flair, making your Independence Day morning as special as the fireworks to come.

Pair this with some strawberries, blueberries, and a fun Freezer Smoothie Pack for a great breakfast.

A festive and patriotic breakfast pastry for the 4th of July, so easy to make, and can even be made ahead.

I recently posted a very simple strawberry breakfast pastry. This is essentially the same thing in a different, more festive form. And it is so easy to make even the most culinary challenged can handle it. I promise. So easy, so cute, so tasty!!

Here is why we love making it:

  • Festive Appearance: Looks just like an American flag, perfect for 4th of July celebrations.
  • Easy to Make: Uses simple ingredients like crescent dough, cream cheese, strawberry jam, and blueberries.
  • Quick Preparation: Ready in no time, making it ideal for a busy holiday morning. And can even be made ahead.
  • Delicious Flavor: Combines creamy, sweet, and fruity flavors in every bite.
  • Kid-Friendly: Fun and engaging for kids to help decorate and enjoy.
  • Versatile: Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a festive snack.
  • Crowd-Pleaser: Sure to impress and delight family and friends.
  • Minimal Cleanup: Simple ingredients and easy assembly mean less mess in the kitchen.

What you need for this Festive Breakfast:

  • 1 tube of Crescent Seamless Dough Sheet (I used Pillsbury)
  • 1 8 ounce package cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup favorite strawberry jam, or fresh strawberries pureed
  • 1 cup blueberries

What you need to make this simple 4th of July breakfast pastry

How to Make Patriotic Pastry Flag:

  • Preheat your oven to 375
  • In a medium sized bowl, use a hand mixer to combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla, whipping until smooth and creamy.
    Cream cheese mixture for 4th of July breakfast pastry.
  • Put cream cheese mixture into a piping bag, or a ziptop bag, and snip 1 corner.
    Piping bag with cream cheese mixture for festive breakfast pastry.
  • Spray a cooking sheet with cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper and spray the parchment paper.
  • Roll the crescent dough out onto it
    Make a flag shape with your crescent dough.
  • Pipe a little cream cheese mixture onto the left hand top corner, to make the “stars” portion of an American flag, and use a spatula to smooth it out. Gently push your blueberries into the cream cheese mixture in the top left corner, (don’t smush them, but embed them in the mixture and dough so they stay put), forming the blue portion of the flag. Note: If you want less of the cream cheese mixture you can just press the blueberries into the dough, and pipe a little cream cheese mixture around the blueberries.
    Making the blue of your flag with blueberries.
  • Next, make some line indentations into the dough to help you evenly space the stripes for your flap. I used the handle of a wooden spoon, and just pressed lightly. You want 7 “red” strips, and 6 white, starting with red at the top.
  • Take your jam,  and put it in a piping bag, or in a ziplock and snip off a corner, and pipe it in straight lines into those indentations you made.
    Pipe jam to make red lines for your flag.
  • Then pipe the cream cheese mixture onto the alternating lines, and around the blueberries, if you didn’t put some down first.
    Pipe cream cheese lines onto your breakfast pastry to make it look like a flag.
  • Bake for 10-13 minutes, until edges are golden brown.

So easy and fun! And you can make it the day before so you don’t have anything to do the day of. I actually think these pastries taste better a day later as they have a chance to cool and get nice and flaky, the way a pastry should be.

And might I suggest serving it with milk, fresh watermelon, and additional blueberries for even more Red, White, and Blue!
