Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cooked bacon (optional)
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Unroll the can of Pillsbury crescent dough onto a clean flat surface. Press the seams together to form a single rectangular sheet of dough.
In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and garlic powder until well combined and smooth.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent dough rectangle using a spatula.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cream cheese mixture. If desired, add the chopped cooked bacon for extra flavor.
Starting with one long side, tightly roll the crescent dough into a log. Seal the edge by pinching it closed.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 16 even pieces, approximately 1 inch thick each. Place the pinwheels cut side down onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the pinwheels to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
