Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

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

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife
  • Rolling pin (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven:
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Prepare the Filling:
  4. 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.
  5. Prepare the Dough:
  6. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface. If the dough is perforated, press the seams together to form one large sheet.
  7. Spread the Filling:
  8. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  9. Roll and Slice:
  10. 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.
  11. Bake the Pinwheels:
  12. 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.

Notes

Allow the pinwheels to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
