Rounds of flaky crescent dough, filled with a cream cheese, jalapeno and bacon center that is baked to perfection and ready for any party.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove crescent roll dough from package but do not unroll. Cut roll of dough into 12 equal slices {I used serrated knife}. Place slices about 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Press each slice into a round that is about 2” in diameter, making sure to keep a ridge around the outer edge {this will hold in the filling}.
In a small bowl combine the cream cheese, bacon, jalapenos, cheddar cheese and garlic powder. Mix until everything is evenly distributed and divide the mixture between the 12 slices of dough {about 1 heaping teaspoon each}. Be sure to press and spread the mixture onto the dough and up to the outer edge {but not beyond}. OPTIONAL: Place 1 small pickled jalapeno slice on the top of each piece. Bake for 9-11 minutes {or until golden brown} and serve warm.
