Egg/veggie Dough Wrap Recipe

My sister gave me this recipe she created between one she'd found in "Deceptively Delicious" and modified it a bit. It's healthy, filling, and a good meal for a picky eater.

Ingredients:
  • little bit of flour
  • 7 eggs
  • 1/2 zucchini or another veggie on hand
  • 1 Pillsbury Doughboy Croissant roll tube
Steps:
  1. Separate and beat the eggs (I only use 3 yolks and all the whites - I have high cholesterol)
  2. Separate the croissant rolls and use some flour (so they don't stick) and a rolling pin to roll them out a little more to give more space for the eggs.
  3. Slice the zucchini (or whatever veggie) into very small pieces.
  4. Saute the eggs and the zucchini, making a frittata.
  5. Scoop two tablespoons of frittata into the croissant.
  6. Fold the croissant like a little diaper and put into the oven for 11 minutes at the temperature stipulated by the croissant directions.
These can be stored in the fridge and reheated later. They are full of protein and for a child it can be a meal all by itself.
