Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons dried ranch dressing mix
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Press the seams together to form one large rectangle.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Starting from a long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 equal pinwheels.
- Place the pinwheels cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can use pre-cooked bacon bits if you prefer not to cook bacon separately.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder to the cream cheese mixture.
- These pinwheels are best served warm, right out of the oven.
