I haven't searched the world wide web to verify the originality of this recipe: Egg & Cheese Crescent Wraps.
But I can say with 100% certainty that Noah (who was 7 at the time) didn't steal it from anybody.... he "invented" it one day when he asked if he could make lunch.
And we've had it several times since. Personally, I would consider this breakfast food, but Noah always requests it for lunch, and so for us, it's become a lunch recipe!
If someone else thought of this concoction before him, then I guess great minds think alike!!
Anyway, since inventing this recipe (that's what he says... "Mommy, can we make the recipe I invented for lunch today?"... he's begged me to share it on my blog.
Well, today is Noah's 8th birthday and to honor him - I'm sharing his recipe! Happy Birthday Noah!! We love you bunches and bunches and bunches!!
To sum it up, first he fries some eggs. We fry ours in a skillet with butter and we leave the yellow quite runny. It won't be super runny when you're done, because you're also going to bake them.
Note - Noah had help the first time he fried eggs, but has because quite the expert and doing it himself (with supervision).
After the eggs are done, he laid them on a raw crescent roll - straight out of the can. The rolls were spread out flat in a triangle.
After laying the egg on, he took each corner of the triangle and wrapped it up around the egg. It won't cover it all the way - and that's okay!
Next, he shredded cheese on top. I prefer cheddar or pepper jack (that's what he usually uses), but today we had mozzarella, so he topped them with mozzarella.
After they're all wrapped up on a cookie sheet, he baked them at 375° for 10 minutes. At that point, the rolls are done, the cheese is bubbly and the egg yolk is set, but not totally cooked... just the way we like 'em!
Then... enjoy!!
I think this kid is a chef in the making, don't you?
Noah would love it if he got lots of birthday messages... would you leave him a comment about his recipe or his birthday? Thanks so much!!

Happy Birthday, Noah! You're not supposed to give us the gifts on your special day; thanks for this recipe keeper!! I will be using this recipe for sure and adding my own little flair like a slice of bacon or ham in between the egg and crescent roll and some chives on top of the egg and cheese! Keep experimenting, little man....that's how stars are born!
