How to Make Bacon Swirls

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 4 rectangles. Gently press the perforations to seal.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crumbled bacon, green onions, and garlic powder. Mix until well blended.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each crescent roll rectangle.
  5. Tightly roll up each rectangle, starting from a long side, into a log shape (jelly-roll style).
  6. Pinch the edges to seal and prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  7. Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 8 slices (approximately 32 swirls total).
  8. Place the swirls cut-side up onto the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the swirls.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the swirls are golden brown and heated through.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
