Ingredients
Scale
Jalapeño Popper Filling
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2-3 fresh jalapeños, finely diced (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Dough
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or pizza dough)
Optional Garnish
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Prepare Dough: Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles, ready for filling.
- Fill Rolls: Place a small spoonful of the jalapeño cheese mixture in the center of each crescent triangle, ensuring not to overfill.
- Roll and Seal: Starting from the wide end of each triangle, roll up the dough to enclose the filling, making sure to tuck and pinch the edges to seal the rolls securely.
- Bake: Arrange the stuffed rolls on the prepared baking sheet with some space between each. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh chives or parsley over the warm rolls for added color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the amount of jalapeños to control the spice level to your preference.
- For a milder version, remove the seeds from the jalapeños before dicing.
- You can substitute crescent roll dough with pizza dough for a thicker crust.
- Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for an extra flavor boost.
- To make ahead, assemble the rolls and refrigerate them before baking, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.
