Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Crescent dough sheet (or crescent rolls, just seal the perforations)
  • 1 package Lit’l Smokies cocktail sausages
  • 1/4 cup jalapeno (from the jar)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup Ellsworth Valley Cheddar Cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup Ellsworth Valley Monterey Jack Jalapeno, grated
  • 1/4 cup bacon bits (or 3 slices of bacon cooked until crisp and crumbled)
  • 1 egg wash (see below)
  • coarse salt
  • Parchment paper (optional for easier cleanup)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Drain and finely chop the jalapenos. Combine cream cheese, jalapenos, and bacon in a small bowl.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough and spread the cream cheese mixture over the entire dough surface. Sprinkle grated cheese on top.
  4. Slice the dough (a pizza cutter works well) into about 1″ strips then cut those strips into thirds.
  5. Working one at a time, add one sausage link to the cut strip and roll, pressing to seal them. Transfer to the baking sheet seam side down. Continue until they are all rolled.
  6. Prepare the egg wash by whisking the egg and 2 Tbsp water together. Lightly brush the top and sides of each popper then sprinkle with a little coarse salt. Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
