Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Ring Ingredients

  • 1 can of pre-made crescent roll dough (about 8 ounces)
  • 3–4 fresh jalapeños, finely chopped (seeds removed for milder heat)
  • 8 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2–3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2–3 tablespoons melted butter
  • Optional: extra shredded cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped jalapeños (with seeds removed for milder heat), sliced green onions, and garlic powder. Stir until well incorporated.
  2. Roll out the crescent dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough sheet onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press the perforations together firmly to create one solid rectangular sheet for easier handling.
  3. Spread and roll: Evenly spread the jalapeño and cheese filling over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log starting from one long side, then pinch seams and edges to seal the filling inside.
  4. Slice and shape the ring: Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled log into equal slices approximately 1 to 1.5 inches thick. Arrange these slices in a circle on the baking sheet, forming a ring with the spiral filling facing upwards for a visually appealing presentation.
  5. Add the finishing touches: Brush the entire ring with melted butter to promote beautiful browning. Optionally, sprinkle extra shredded cheese on top to create a golden, cheesy crust.
  6. Bake until golden: Bake the jalapeño crescent ring in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Allow it to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for easier spreading and better mixing.
  • Remove jalapeño seeds to control spice level according to your preference.
  • Roll dough firmly but gently to prevent tearing and keep filling inside.
  • Seal all edges and seams well to avoid cheese oozing out during baking.
  • Watch baking time carefully to prevent burning, ensuring the ring is cooked through.
