This is my spin on a three-ingredient recipe I found at the Betty Crocker website. I decided to up the ante a bit and add a few more big-flavor ingredients to their recipe! Seeded jalapeno halves are stuffed with a mixture of shredded cheese and flavored cream cheese, topped with bacon, and rolled inside garlic-flavored refrigerated crescent dough. They're fun to eat and full of flavor. When you’re making a recipe with minimum ingredients, it’s important that each one brings maximum flavor. These Crescent Jalapeno Poppers are definitely maxed out on flavor!
- 4 garlic-flavor refrigerated crescents
- 4 jalapenos, cut in half -- seeds and membranes removed [NOTE: I use latex gloves when I work with jalapenos]
- ½ cup chive and onion cream cheese
- ½ cup shredded Colby-jack cheese
- 3 slices Applewood smoked bacon
- Coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
Directions:
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375. Lay the jalapeno halves on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment. Cut each piece of bacon in thirds crosswise and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake the bacon and jalapenos for 15 minutes, until the bacon is starting to brown and the jalapenos are starting to blister.
Step 2: While the jalapenos and bacon are in the oven, combine the cream cheese and Colby-jack cheese in a small bowl. Set aside in the fridge to chill. Remove the jalapenos and bacon from the oven, and let cool for 5 minutes. Fill each jalapeno with some of the cream cheese-cheese mixture. It will take approximately 1 tbs., depending on the size of your pepper halves.
Step 3: Add a clean sheet of parchment to your rimmed baking sheet. Unroll the crescents and cut them in half lengthwise. Place a filled jalapeno half at the base end of each crescent, then top with a piece of the bacon. Roll up toward the pointed end, until the bacon and pepper are enclosed.
Step 4: Bake for approximately 15 minutes, until the crescents are golden-brown and the cream cheese mixture is bubbly. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving so you’re not burned by the hot melted cheese! Some of the cream cheese mixture may ooze out during baking, but it's no big deal -- they still taste fantastic!
These Crescent Jalapeno Poppers are so good, you’ll never believe they only have FIVE simple ingredients! The crescents provide a subtle garlic flavor, and the jalapenos provide a bit of heat -- but it’s tempered by the creamy cheese filling. And the bacon? It provides a smoky pop of flavor that brings every bite together. This would be a perfect starter for your next Tex-Mex dinner. Because they’re so simple to make, you don’t have to reserve them for a special occasion. They’re great “just because!” Be sure to check out all of the great #SundaySupper recipes that this week's participants are sharing. All have five ingredients or less, and they all sound amazing!
