These savory pinwheels are a delightful snack or appetizer, combining creamy cheese and crispy bacon in a flaky pastry.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped green onion, and milk until smooth.
Use a hand mixer for a smoother consistency.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into four rectangles. Press the perforations to seal.
Chill the dough slightly if it becomes too soft to handle.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each rectangle.
Leave a small border around the edges to prevent filling from leaking.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the cream cheese layer.
Distribute the bacon evenly for consistent flavor.
Roll up each rectangle starting from the longer side, then pinch the edges to seal.
Use gentle pressure to avoid squeezing out the filling.
Cut each roll into eight slices and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top of each slice.
Add a pinch of your favorite herbs for extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning.
Serve the pinwheels warm and enjoy.
Pair with a dipping sauce like marinara or ranch for added flavor.
