Print Recipe

A quick and easy appetizer featuring a flaky crescent dough ring filled with creamy, spicy jalapeños, sharp cheddar, and smoky bacon, baked to crispy perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
  • 3–4 medium jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 100 g)
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until creamy.
  3. Fold in finely chopped jalapeños and crumbled bacon.
  4. Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles, keeping them connected to form a ring with points facing outward on the lined baking sheet.
  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the base of the crescent dough ring, leaving the pointed edges free.
  6. Fold the pointed ends over the filling toward the center, overlapping slightly to seal the filling inside. Tuck the last point under the first to secure the ring.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crisp, and the filling is bubbly but not runny.
  8. Let cool for about 5 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for smooth mixing. Avoid overstuffing to prevent leaking. Cook bacon until crisp for best texture. Adjust jalapeño seeds for desired spice level. Let ring rest before slicing to prevent filling from oozing. For a firmer filling, add extra shredded cheese or panko crumbs. Refrigerate assembled ring if preparing ahead and bring to room temperature before baking.
