Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 2–3 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Additional
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Optional: chopped chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, finely chopped jalapeños, and garlic powder until evenly combined.
- Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the whole milk and melted butter, stirring until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Shape the rolls: Divide the dough into 10 to 12 equal portions. Flatten each piece into a small circle on your work surface, then place a spoonful of the prepared filling in the center. Carefully pinch the edges together to seal the filling inside, forming a roll.
- Prepare for baking: Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg to promote browning and a glossy finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Cool and garnish: Let the rolls cool slightly on a wire rack. Optionally, sprinkle chopped chives or parsley on top for a fresh, colorful garnish before serving.
Notes
- For extra heat, leave some jalapeño seeds in or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling.
- These rolls work perfectly as appetizers or game day snacks.
- To save time, store-bought biscuit dough can be used as a shortcut for the dough.
