Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tube (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup pepper jelly
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped cooked bacon
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
- Spread the Jelly: Spread the pepper jelly evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Add the Filling: In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, salt, and black pepper. Spread this mixture evenly over the pepper jelly.
- Roll and Cut: Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 1-inch slices.
- Air Fry: Place the pinwheels in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Let the pinwheels cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier spreading.
- Chill the Dough: If the dough becomes too soft to handle, chill it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Make sure the pinwheels are not overlapping in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
- Adjust Cooking Time: Air fryers can vary, so keep an eye on the pinwheels and adjust the cooking time as needed.
