Jalapeno Popper Crescent Rolls
These quick and easy Jalapeno Popper Crescent Rolls feature a mixture of jalapeno peppers, cream cheese, cheddar, and bacon, wrapped in a flaky, buttery crescent roll. Perfect for game day!
Servings: 32 rolls
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound bacon , cooked until crispy and crumbled
- 8 ounces cream cheese , softened
- 1 cup freshly shredded sharp cheddar
- 1 medium jalapeno , seeds removed, diced small
- 1 scallion , diced
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) crescent roll dough
- ranch , for dipping, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- Place the bacon, cream cheese, cheddar, jalapeno, and scallion in a large bowl. With an electric hand mixer, whip until combined; set aside.
- Using one canister of crescent dough at a time, unroll the dough and separate it into triangles. Cut the triangles in half, so they form two long triangles.
- Place 1 & 1/2 teaspoons of the filling onto the bottom, wider part of the roll. Roll the dough over the filling to form a crescent. Place it on the prepared sheet sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining filling and dough, placing them on the baking sheets, not touching.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes until lightly golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Take care when cutting the jalapenos. When you’re removing the seeds then cutting the jalapenos, be sure to avoid touching your face and thoroughly wash your hands when you’re done. Jalapeno in your eye is not a sensation you want to feel!
Make them spicier. These are pretty mild so if you want to make them spicier, you can leave in (some) of the seeds in the jalapenos or add some of your favorite hot sauce to the mix.
Don’t add too much filling. It will be tempting to overfill the rolls, but if you add too much filling while baking, it will just seep out the sides.
Work with one roll of dough at a time. Crescent dough is easier to work with when it’s cold, so only unroll one can at a time. Once all of those jalapeno popper bites are ready, move on to the second can.
