Directions:

Place on the baking sheets and bake for 11-13 minutes until golden brown.

Let cool slightly before serving.

How to Serve Jalapeno Popper Crescent Rolls

How to Store Jalapeno Popper Crescent Rolls

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes until warmed through.

Tips to Make Jalapeno Popper Crescent Rolls

Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.

Adjust the amount of jalapeno to suit your spice preference.

Ensure the crescent rolls are sealed well to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.

Variation

For a milder version, you can substitute pickled jalapenos for fresh ones or omit them altogether for a less spicy option. Additionally, you can add a sprinkle of smoked paprika for extra flavor.
