Ingredients

• 1 pound pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2–3 jalapeños, finely diced (remove seeds for less heat)
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• Optional: 2 tablespoons melted butter, for brushing

4. Egg Wash: Brush each roll with beaten egg for a golden finish.
5. Bake: Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and slightly hollow-sounding when tapped.
6. Finish & Serve: Let cool slightly. Optionally, brush with melted butter before serving.

Tips / Storage / FAQs

Tips:

• Use gloves when handling jalapeños to avoid skin irritation.
• Don’t overfill—too much filling can cause the rolls to burst open while baking.
• Use room temperature cream cheese for easy mixing.

Storage:

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes or air fryer for a crisp finish.
• Freezer-friendly before baking—freeze assembled rolls and bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.

FAQs:

• Can I make these without bacon? Yes, skip the bacon or replace it with plant-based alternatives.
• Can I use crescent roll dough? Yes, though the texture will be slightly different—flakier and less chewy.
• How spicy are these? With seeds removed, the jalapeños are mildly spicy. For extra heat, leave some seeds in.
