Meet your new favorite appetizer: Crescent Jalapeño Poppers! These irresistible bites combine the smoky heat of fresh jalapeños with a creamy, cheesy filling made from cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and a touch of garlic powder for bold flavor. Wrapped snugly in golden crescent roll dough and brushed with an egg wash for a glossy finish, they bake to perfection in just 15 minutes. Perfect as a party snack, game-day treat, or satisfying finger food, these poppers balance crunch, gooey goodness, and a hint of spice. Serve them warm for maximum enjoyment and watch them disappear in minutes!
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Slice the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.
Fill each jalapeno half with the cream cheese mixture, smoothing it out with a spoon.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Cut each triangle into smaller strips, wide enough to wrap around each filled jalapeno half.
Wrap one strip of dough around each stuffed jalapeno half, leaving a bit of the filling exposed, if desired.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash lightly over the dough for a golden, glossy finish.
Place the wrapped jalapeno poppers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
