Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Mixture

  • 8 ounces Cabot Pepper Jack Cheese, shredded
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 4 ounce can diced jalapenos, drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Dough & Topping

  • 16 ounces crescent roll dough (two 8-ounce cans)
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s perfectly hot for baking the crescent rolls to a golden brown.
  2. Make Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded pepper jack cheese, softened cream cheese, drained diced jalapenos, and salt until well blended to create a creamy, spicy filling.
  3. Prepare Dough: Roll out the crescent roll dough on a flat surface and press the perforations together to form one continuous sheet for even filling.
  4. Fill and Roll: Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the dough. Starting from the short side, roll the dough tightly and then slice the roll into 8 equal pieces.
  5. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the sliced rolls cut-side up into a greased baking dish, spacing them slightly apart.
  6. Apply Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder, then brush this flavorful mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
  7. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes or until they are puffed and golden brown on top. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Drain the jalapenos well to avoid excess moisture making the dough soggy.
  • You can adjust the amount of jalapenos depending on your preferred spice level.
  • Serve warm with a side of ranch or sour cream for dipping.
  • For a milder version, substitute the pepper jack cheese with mild cheddar or mozzarella.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to mix easily with other ingredients.
