Mixing bowl
Knife
Rolling pin (optional)

Ingredients:

1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2-3 jalapenos, seeded and finely chopped
6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped jalapenos, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Prepare the Dough:
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface. If the dough is perforated, press the seams together to form one large sheet.
Spread the Filling:
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll and Slice:
- Starting from one of the long sides, roll the dough tightly into a log. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels.
Bake the Pinwheels:
- Place the pinwheels cut side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the pinwheels to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

For extra heat, leave some of the jalapeno seeds in the mixture.
