Ingredients
- 8 ounce Cabot Pepper Jack Cheese, shredded
- 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 4 ounce can diced jalapenos, drained
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 16 ounces crescent roll dough (two 8-ounce cans)
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Step-by-step Directions
1. Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F, allowing it to reach the required temperature while you prepare the roll-ups.
2. Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, mix together the shredded Pepper Jack cheese, softened cream cheese, drained diced jalapenos, and salt until well combined.
3. Prepare the Dough
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press along the perforations to seal, forming a solid sheet. This prevents the filling from leaking out.
4. Add the Filling
Spread the cheese and jalapeno mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough sheets.
5. Roll the Dough
Starting from the short side, tightly roll up each sheet of dough so that the filling is securely encased within. Ensure the rolls are tight to prevent the filling from escaping during baking.
6. Slice and Arrange
Using a serrated knife, cut each roll into 8 equal pieces, yielding a total of 16 slices. Arrange these slices in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
7. Add the Finishing Touches
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with garlic powder and brush this mixture over the tops of the rolls to enhance their flavor and help them turn golden brown.
8. Bake
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until the roll-ups are golden brown and the crescent rolls have fully cooked through.
Servings & Preparation Time
This recipe produces 16 servings. The preparation time is approximately 15 minutes, and the cooking time is 30 minutes, resulting in a total time of 45 minutes.
Tips for Storage & Reheating
- Storage: Store any leftover Jalapeno Popper Roll-Ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in a microwave or covered in the oven at 350°F until warmed through. This will help maintain their texture better than the microwave.
- Freezing: You can freeze the cooked roll-ups for up to a month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
