Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons jalapenos, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1 unit egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean work surface. Press the seams together to create one solid sheet of dough.
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, jalapenos, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley (if using). Mix until well-combined.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the crescent dough, leaving a small border along the edges.
Starting from one of the longer sides, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Pinch the edge to seal the roll.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the roll into 12 even pieces.
Place the pinwheels cut-side-down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the beaten egg to promote a golden-brown finish during baking.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the pinwheels are golden brown and the cheese filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
