Crescent Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers are scrumptious treat perfect for munching on during the game!
Hey, y'all! Welcome to the latest installment of Sunday's Snacks where I share with you a recipe perfect for enjoying during the big game! Throughout this series, I have shared with you some super yummy recipes such as Jalapeno Popper Dip, Bunless Burger Bites, Loaded Tater Tot Skewers and Chicken and Waffle Sliders.
When I am coming up with a football friendly recipe, it has to meet the following criteria:
It requires minimal prep time.
Finger-foods are a plus.
The recipe has to be delicious.
Simple enough, right? I mean, who wants to spend half of the game in the kitchen? Certainly not me! I'd rather be sitting in front of the big screen cheering on my Jaguars and Cowboys.
Football games in our household are a family affair. My brothers, sister-in-law, and all of our kids gather at my parent's house to watch the games on the big screen. It's a huge deal. Since there's a butt-ton of kids there, we make sure our football grub is kid-friendly. These Jalapeno Poppers are actually quite kid friendly! By removing all of the seeds and ribs of the jalapenos, and by wrapping the pepper in a dough takes away the heat of the pepper.
I love this recipe because it is simple to throw together and they taste great! These delicious jalapeno poppers are perfect for parties, tailgates, and game day snacks!
Kitchen Essentials:
Ingredients:
10 jalapeno peppers
8 oz cream cheese, softened
8 oz Pepper Jack cheese, shredded
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 scallion, sliced
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Pepper
Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment pepper. Set aside.
Wash and slice jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and ribs with a spoon.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, pepper jack cheese, garlic, scallion, salt, and pepper with an electric mixer.
Fill the peppers with the cheese mixture.
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate the dough into 4 rectangles (2 triangles for each rectangle). Pinch the dough together to combine each of the 2 triangles. (See photo above)
Use a pizza cutter to slice each rectangle into quarters lengthwise.
Wrap 1 or 2 pieces of dough (depending on the size of the pepper).
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the dough is a golden in color.
