BACON JALAPEñO POPPER PINWHEELS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a pan, cook bacon until crisp, then chop into small pieces.
• Discard excess fat (reserve approximately 2 tablespoons).
• In the same pan, sauté the onions in the reserved fat until they start to become translucent.
• Add the jalapeños. Cook until the onions start to caramelize and remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, bacon, cheddar, pepper, garlic powder, and jalapeño mixture. Stir until thoroughly incorporated.
• On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out the puff pastry until the surface is smooth and even.
• Spread the japapeño mixture on the pastry sheet, stopping 1 inch (2 ½ cm) from the top of the dough.
• Starting at the bottom, tightly roll upwards and pinch the top edge to seal into a log shape.
• Cut the roll every 1½ inches (3 ¾ cm). Place the pieces face-up, 2 inches (5 cm) apart on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops of the pastries with cheddar.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sides of the pastries are a light golden color.
• Enjoy!

JALAPENO CREAM CHEESE

Steps:

• Blend together softened cream cheese, mayonnaise and garlic powder until smooth and no longer lumpy. Add chopped jalapeno to cream cheese mixture and stir until just blended.
• The longer the mixture sits, the hotter it becomes.

CHEDDAR AND BACON PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and allow to cool slightly, then finely chop. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
• Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured work surface. Lightly roll each piece of pastry into a 10-inch square. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of each piece of pastry, leaving a slight border around the edges. Sprinkle the Cheddar and bacon in an even layer over the top of the cream cheese mixture. Tightly roll each pastry sheet into a log (jelly roll style), then pinch the seam closed and place seam-side down on the work surface.
• Using a sharp knife, cut both logs crosswise into 12 pinwheels each, approximately 1 inch thick. Transfer 12 pinwheels to each prepared baking sheet, spiral-side up. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water until combined to make an egg wash. Brush the tops and sides of the pinwheels with the egg wash.
• Bake the pinwheels until puffed and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.

JALAPENO CREAM CHEESE BABY BACK RIB PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Marinade the ribs in olive oil, salt, garlic powder for at least 2 hours in the fridge. You can go for as long as overnight if you wish. The longer the better, I say. Reasonably of course.
• Preheat the oven to 300°F.
• Toast the 3 slices of bread.
• Lay the ribs out on a baking sheet.
• Cut off the crusts from the bread slices. Spread cream cheese on the pieces of toast and cut them in half, not diagonally. Arrange them along the ribs.
• Arrange pieces of pickled jalapeño peppers side-by-side along the length of the ribs on top of the cream cheese.
• Roll the ribs up keeping the bread slices in place so they form a pinwheel.
• Use some clean twine or whatever else you can find (rubber bands not recommended) to secure the ribs rolled up and place them flat on the baking sheets.
• Place in oven and cook for about 60-90 minutes (until they are done).
• Goes good with steamed vegetables and rice.
