Jalapeno Popper Roll Ups

Ingredients

  • 8 slices of crisp, cooked bacon
  • 4 jalapenos stem removed, sliced in half vertically with seeds removed (depending on heat tolerance)
  • 4 oz cream cheese or neufchatel cheese, divided into 8 portions
  • 1 (8-pack) refrigerated crescent rolls (I used reduced fat)

Instructions

  1. Cut each strip of bacon in half. Cut each jalapeno half into thin strips.
  2. Unroll refrigerated crescent rolls into separate triangles. Place two bacon halves on top of the fat end of one crescent triangle.
  3. Layer with ½ oz cream cheese, and then place the strips of half a jalapeno on top of the cream cheese.
  4. Roll from the fat end of the crescent triangle, up and over the fillings until you reach the pointy tip.
  5. Place tip side down onto a prepared baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  6. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 9 to 15 minutes or until golden brown on top and bottom of the crescent rolls.
