These warm, cheesy pinwheels bring the cozy jalapeño popper flavors you love, creamy, melty, gently spicy, wrapped into soft buttery dough. They’re simple enough for weeknights yet special enough for game days or gatherings. Serve them fresh from the oven for the perfect mix of creamy filling and golden edges.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1-2 fresh jalapeños, seeded and finely diced
- 1/2 cup cooked turkey bacon, chopped
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, cheddar, jalapeños, turkey bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until smooth.
- Unroll the puff pastry and spread the mixture evenly across the surface.
- Roll the pastry tightly into a log and slice into 12 even pinwheels.
- Place on the prepared baking sheet, brush lightly with egg wash, and bake 18-20 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving so they set and hold together nicely.
Tip
For extra spice, leave a few jalapeño seeds in the mix. For milder heat, remove all seeds and membranes.
Warm, cheesy, and so simple, pin these for your next gathering or quick crowd-pleasing snack.
