Cheese Filling
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Main Ingredients
- 1 tube crescent rolls
- 8 pickle spears, halved crosswise
- Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp. water), for brushing
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) to ensure it’s heated properly for baking the crescent rolls.
- Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with shredded cheddar, crumbled cooked bacon, and garlic powder. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, then mix thoroughly until well blended and creamy.
- Prepare Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut each triangular piece in half lengthwise to create narrow strips perfect for wrapping.
- Assemble Pickles In A Blanket: Spread the cheese and bacon mixture evenly over each crescent roll strip. Place one halved pickle spear on the wide end of each strip, then carefully roll it up around the pickle, sealing the edges underneath.
- Brush with Egg Wash: Place the rolled pickles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops lightly with egg wash to give them a golden, glossy finish when baked.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the crescent rolls turn golden brown and puffed.
- Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm as a tasty appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For a crispier bacon, cook it a little longer or crisp it in the oven before crumbling.
- You can substitute dill pickles for bread and butter pickles for a sweeter taste.
- Serve with a side of ranch or mustard dip for extra flavor.
- Refrigerate leftovers and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and spreading.
