These simple and savory Cheddar Bacon Pinwheels are an irresistible appetizer or snack, perfect for any gathering. Made with crescent dough, creamy chive and onion spread, sharp cheddar, and crispy bacon, they're quick to prepare and bake to golden perfection.
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper or Silicone Mat
- Sharp Knife
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated crescent dough sheets (8-ounce) (or regular crescent rolls, pinched together)
- 1/4 cup chive and onion cream cheese spread
- 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices cooked and crumbled bacon
- Fresh chopped parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for super easy cleanup.
- Gently unroll the crescent dough sheet onto your prepared baking sheet. If you're using regular crescent rolls, simply pinch the seams together well to form a solid sheet. Stretch it just a little if needed, being careful not to tear it.
- Evenly spread the creamy chive and onion cream cheese over the entire surface of the dough. Next, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon generously all over the cream cheese layer.
- Now, cut the dough sheet in half lengthwise. Starting from one long edge of each half, carefully roll the dough up tightly into a snug log. Make sure to pinch the edges closed securely, just like you would with a delicious cinnamon roll!
- Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled log into ½-inch thick spirals. Gently place these adorable pinwheels on your baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each one.
- Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until they turn beautifully golden brown and the cheese is wonderfully bubbly and melted.
- Enjoy these warm, savory pinwheels right away! For an extra touch of freshness and color, you can garnish them with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley or green onions.
