Description
Indulge in the irresistible combination of crispy, cheesy, and spicy Jalapeno Popper Twists – the ultimate savory appetizer that’s sure to impress at your next gathering.
Ingredients
– 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/4 cup diced jalapeños (seeds and membranes removed for less heat, if desired)
– 1 (8 oz) can crescent roll dough
– 1 tablespoon melted butter
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and diced jalapeños until well combined.
3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. Spread a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
4. Starting from the wide end, tightly roll up each triangle into a spiral shape, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed.
5. Arrange the rolled-up twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.
6. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, and paprika. Brush the tops of the twists with the seasoned butter.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve the Jalapeno Popper Twists warm, garnished with additional diced jalapeños if desired.
Notes
For less spice, use fewer jalapeños or remove the seeds and membranes. You can also experiment with different cheese varieties, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack, to adjust the flavor profile.
