Jalapeño Popper Crescent Bites

How to make Jalapeño Popper Crescent Bites

Ingredients:

1 can refrigerated crescent dough

4 oz. cream cheese, softened

3 slices bacon, cooked and diced

2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños, diced

1/4 cup cheddar cheese

1/4 tsp garlic powder

Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet; set aside.

Remove crescent roll dough from package but do not unroll. Cut roll of dough into 12 equal slices.

Place slices roughly 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet. Press each slice into a shallow bowl about 2” in diameter, making sure to keep a ridge around the outer edge to hold the filling.

Combine cream cheese, bacon, jalapenos, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.

Divide the mixture between the 12 slices of dough – about 1 heaping teaspoon each. Press and spread the mixture onto the dough and up to the outer edge.

Optional: Place 1 small pickled jalapeno slice on the top of each piece.

Bake for 9-11 minutes, until golden brown, and serve warm.
