These Jalapeno Popper Pinwheels are a delicious and easy appetizer, perfect for any gathering. They combine the creamy, spicy flavors of jalapeno poppers in a fun, bite-sized pinwheel shape.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent dough and press the seams together to form a rectangle. Pinch the seams to seal.
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped chives, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining softened cream cheese, shredded pepper jack cheese, diced jalapenos, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Spread the first cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent dough rectangle, leaving a small border at the top edge.
Spread the jalapeno cream cheese mixture over the first layer.
Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log.
Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 16 even pinwheels.
Place the pinwheels cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For a spicier kick, leave some of the jalapeno seeds in. These are best served warm.
