These make a GREAT appetizer! Easy to make, and quickly gone!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

An easy and delicious appetizer for your next party. When baked, the crescent dough is soft and buttery. Inside, the cream cheese filling has bits of soft onions and salty bacon. A wonderful flavor combination. You could serve these for any occasion from game night to a holiday party.

How To Make bacon swirls

Test Kitchen Tips
We used a sheet of crescent dough for this recipe. If that's not available, just use a regular can and press the seams together. Also, it took about 20 minutes for ours to bake to a golden brown.
  • Cream cheese and minced onion in a bowl.
    1
    In a small bowl, add cream cheese and minced onions.
  • Cooked bacon added to the cream cheese.
    2
    Add cooked and crumbled bacon.
  • Adding a little milk to thin out cream cheese mixture.
    3
    Mix together adding a little milk at a time until it is creamy and will spread evenly.
  • Cream cheese mixture spread on crescent roll dough.
    4
    Unroll crescent roll dough. Press formations to seal the seams. Spread the cream cheese mixture leaving about 1/4" around the edges.
  • Crescent roll dough rolled into a log.
    5
    Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting at the long side. Press edges to seal.
  • Sliced Bacon Swirls ready to bake.
    6
    Cut about 1/4" and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle swirls evenly with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 375 for 12 to 15 minutes or until brown.
