8 ounces softened cream cheese (full-fat recommended)

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Slice jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes. Use gloves for safety to avoid irritation.

In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and crumbled bacon until fully mixed.

Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeño half, filling just to the level of the edges.

Unroll crescent dough and separate triangles. Place a filled jalapeño half at the wide end of a triangle. Roll the dough gently to cover the pepper, tucking the edges securely.

Allow rolls to cool for 5 minutes on the pan to set the filling before serving warm.

Use a well-chilled filling to reduce the chance of leaks during baking.

Pat sliced jalapeños dry to ensure crispy dough and prevent sogginess.
