Bacon Cheddar Jalapeno Popper Pinwheels are a super simple to make appetizer that tastes just like a Jalapeno Popper wrapped in a buttery, flaky crust.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix cream cheese, bacon, jalapenos and garlic salt together in a small bowl and set aside.
Roll out crescent roll dough and lightly press seams together to form a sheet. (alternatively, you could use a rolled out pizza dough or a crescent dough sheet).
Layer ingredients evenly on the dough, sprinkle with cheese reserving about a few tablespoons for topping, and roll lengthwise.
Using a sharp, serrated knife, cut into 1-inch slices and place 2-inches apart on a foil lined cookie sheet. Top with reserved shredded cheddar, if desired.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until bread begins to brown. Oven temperatures can vary, so do use this time as a guideline.
Allow to cool slightly before plating and serving.
Notes
Leave out the pepper if you aren't a big fan of spice. You could also mix in some chopped parsley for color.
