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 ease cleanup.
- Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, finely diced jalapeños, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well blended to create a creamy and spicy filling.
- Prepare Dough: Open the can of crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangular sections, ready for filling.
- Fill Rolls: Place a small spoonful of the jalapeño mixture in the center of each dough triangle. Carefully roll each triangle starting from the wide end, tucking the edges underneath to securely seal in the filling.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the stuffed rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle freshly chopped chives or parsley over the warm rolls before serving to add a pop of color and fresh flavor. Enjoy warm for best taste.
Notes
- Adjust jalapeño quantity based on your preferred spice level.
- You can substitute crescent roll dough with pizza dough if preferred.
- For extra crispness, brush the rolls lightly with melted butter before baking.
- Ensure jalapeños are finely diced to avoid large spicy bites.
- Serve these rolls immediately for best texture; they can be reheated briefly in the oven if needed.
