Nate, our grandson, was over today and he wanted to bake. We went to the store and started thinking what to bake (bad timing). The place was a madhouse! He loves pineapple and cheese so we decided we try our luck and create an easy version of a croissant.. No such luck! There wasn't any pineapple pie filling so I had to make my own and we experimented with a croissant type Pillsbury Roll.. We used refrigerated Pillsbury Big Buttery Crescent Rolls.. For a spur of the moment creation I was impressed..They were so good!! He and my hubby devoured them !!! I had enough of the cheese filling left to make some mini cheesecakes. All of this was experimentation!! Here are the pictures and the recipe( I didn't measure too well and kind of fudged a lot but this is my recollection.. The Crescent Rolls worked wonderful!!!! Enjoy!!!!!!!!!
1 4 oz. cream cheese softened
1 egg
1/4 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
Beat cream cheese, egg, sugar and vanilla until smooth..Add flour and beat until creamy..Set aside
Over low heat in a pot put pineapple juice and cornstarch..Whisk until smooth and thickened..Add crushed pineapple and cool..

| One of the better ones |

| He took each croissant and cut off points and rolled it to the shape he wanted. |
 |
| I put the cheese and pineapple in center and he closed |
 |
| Pretty good for the first time! |

They certainly were good for an experiment (that's what he called this pineapple croissant)
