# Ingredients:

01 - 8 ounces refrigerated crescent dough
02 - 1/4 cup chive and onion cream cheese spread or plain
03 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
04 - 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
05 - Chopped green onions or parsley (optional garnish)

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02 - Unroll the sheet of crescent dough onto the prepared baking sheet and stretch it slightly without splitting it. If using regular crescent dough, pinch the seams together.
03 - Spread the cream cheese evenly over the dough.
04 - Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon evenly over the cream cheese.
05 - Cut the sheet in half and roll each half tightly from the bottom upwards. Pinch the dough together securely.
06 - Cut into 1/2-inch thick spirals and carefully place them on the baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
07 - Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
08 - Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley or green onions if desired.

# Notes:

01 - These pinwheels are best served hot out of the oven. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven or air fryer for 6 to 8 minutes.
