Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent rolls
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup finely diced pickled jalapeños, drained
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced jalapeños. Mix until fully incorporated. This is your cheesy filling.
- Unroll the can of crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into 8 triangles.
- Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle.
- Roll each triangle up tightly, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the point. Pinch the seams together to seal the filling inside.
- Place the rolled dough, seam-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the rolls lightly with the beaten egg wash. This helps them brown nicely.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- To prevent cheese from leaking out while baking, press the seams together firmly after rolling.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, rinse the diced jalapeños under cold water before mixing them into the cheese.
- For a richer flavor, brush the tops with melted butter immediately after they come out of the oven.
