Scale
Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough (8 oz)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced jalapenos (seeds removed for less heat)
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos, chopped green onions if using, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as indicated on the packaging.
- Fill Crescents: Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the cheese and jalapeno mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
- Roll Up: Carefully roll up each crescent triangle starting from the wide end and pinch the edges to seal the filling inside to prevent leakage while baking.
- Brush with Butter: Arrange the filled crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter for a golden, flavorful crust.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbly and hot.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the filling set slightly and to avoid burns.
Notes
- For less heat, remove all jalapeno seeds before dicing.
- Green onions are optional but add extra flavor and color.
- Serve these warm for the best taste and texture.
- Can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
