  • 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Preparation Steps

  • 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.
