Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Shred an 8 ounce block of Cabot Pepper Jack Cheese. Add it to a mixing bowl with the softened cream cheese, diced jalapenos and salt.
  3. Stir to combine all of the ingredients.
  4. Roll out both cans of crescent roll dough and press the perforations together.
  5. Spread the cheesy jalapeno mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough.
  6. Starting with the short side of the dough, roll up each sheet of crescent roll dough tightly over the cheese mixture.
  7. Use a serrated knife to slice each roll into 8, approximately 1 inch rolls (for 16 total).
  8. Arrange the rolls in a greased 9 inch x 13 inch baking dish.
  9. Combine the melted butter and garlic powder in a small bowl, then brush it evenly on top of the rolls.
  10. Place in the oven and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes

  • To store: any leftover rolls should be placed in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Since these rolls contain dairy, they should not be stored on the counter at room temperature.
  • To reheat in an air fryer: this is seriously my favorite way to reheat everything these days. Just pop these rolls from the fridge to the air fryer at 400°F for 5 minutes and they’re crispy on the outside, with a delicious warm cheesy filling inside!
  • To reheat in the oven: place the rolls in a single layer on a baking sheet and into a 400°F oven for 6-8 minutes.
  • To reheat in the microwave: place the rolls on a microwave safe plate, in an even layer, and reheat for 30-60 seconds, until warmed through.
  • The cheesy filling can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days before making the rolls.
  • If you want a crispy texture on the outside of all of the rolls, bake them separated on a baking sheet, instead of in a casserole dish. This way, every side of the roll will be exposed to the heat, crisping them up on all sides of each roll. Be sure to line the baking sheet with parchment paper, or spray it with cooking spray first. You will also need to reduce the cooking time, since the rolls will be exposed to heat on all sides, they will cook faster, than touching in a baking dish. I recommend 10-12 minutes.
  • You can prepare and bake the rolls ahead of time, then heat them up before serving at a party. I recommend using an air fryer or oven to reheat them for the best texture.
  • This recipe makes 16 rolls, but you can easily cut it in half and only make 8 rolls, if you’re making the recipe for a small family snack or dinner appetizer. Simply use one can of crescent roll dough, then cut the other ingredients in half to make the filling and garlic butter.
