Three-Cheese Jalapeno Crescent Pinwheels

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"We are a family of garlic-lovers however I don't recommend using more than 1 teaspoon fresh garlic as it will overpower the cheese mixture, or omit the garlic totally. These make great appetizers to serve at a get together, to save time you can prepare the cheese mixture up to a day in advance, cover and refrigerate, and you can fill the crescent rolls, slice and chill for up to 2 hours in advance. Recipe may be doubled if desired."

These look awesome. I'm planning to make them to go along side my Enchilada Soup http://www.recipezaar.com/186079 that I traditionally make on Christmas Eve. They'll no doubt be a great addtion. Yum. Thanks for sharing. ~V

Yum! These were very simple and very good. I only made a half batch as a trial run for the holidays. I will definitely make more next time because some family members unexpectedly showed up and ate every last one in record time. Thanks for another winner, Kitten.
