Ingredients
Scale
1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped pickled jalapeños
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent dough and press the seams together to form a rectangle.
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped jalapeños, chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough, leaving a small border at the top edge.
Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough with the filling.
Cut the roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Place the pinwheels cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
Let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños before chopping.
You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cream cheese mixture for extra heat.
