Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 fresh jalapenos, diced (remove seeds for less heat)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 green onions, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, diced jalapenos, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, and chopped green onions. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles. If they’re sticking together, gently pull them apart.
- Spoon about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the wider end of each triangle.
- Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle toward the narrow tip, tucking in any filling that tries to escape.
- Use a pastry brush to lightly coat each roll with beaten egg for a golden, crispy finish.
- Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let the rolls cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
[‘Don’t overfill the rolls to prevent bursting.’, ‘Remove seeds and ribs from jalapenos for less heat.’, ‘Softened cream cheese blends easily, but avoid over-softening.’, ‘Watch rolls closely during the last few minutes of baking to prevent overbrowning.’, ‘Prepare the filling ahead and refrigerate until ready to use.’]
