Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced jalapenos
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
Dough
- 1 package refrigerated crescent rolls
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it’s ready to bake the jalapeno popper twists to a perfect golden brown.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and evenly distributed.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Cut each crescent triangle into thin strips suitable for wrapping.
- Assemble Twists: Take the cheese and jalapeno mixture and wrap it securely with the strips of crescent roll dough, twisting the dough as you go to create a spiral effect around the filling.
- Bake: Place the assembled twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the twists to cool slightly before serving. This lets the filling set and prevents burns.
Notes
- Adjust the jalapeno quantity to suit your preferred spice level.
- Serve these twists with ranch dressing or your favorite dip for an extra burst of flavor.
