Description

Pickles in a Blanket are a fun and savory appetizer featuring dill pickle spears wrapped in crescent roll dough filled with a creamy mixture of cream cheese, cheddar, crispy bacon, and ranch seasoning.

Ingredients

Scale

Pickle Wraps

  • 8 Crescent Rolls
  • 2 Whole Dill Pickles (quartered into spears)

Filling

  • 4 strips Bacon (cooked crispy and crumbled)
  • 1 TBSP Ranch Seasoning
  • 1/3 C Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese (softened)

For Baking

  • 1 Egg (for egg wash)
  • Sesame Seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get ready for baking the rolls.
  2. Prepare pickles: Slice each dill pickle into quarters lengthwise, setting them aside for assembly.
  3. Mix filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the crispy crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and ranch seasoning. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated into a smooth mixture.
  4. Assemble rolls: Unroll the crescent rolls and spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture starting from the larger end of each crescent triangle.
  5. Roll with pickles: Place a pickle spear at the large end of each crescent roll and carefully roll it up toward the pointed end, encasing the filling and pickle inside.
  6. Prepare for baking: Arrange the wrapped rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment for easy cleanup. Brush the tops with beaten egg wash to give a golden shine when baked and sprinkle sesame seeds on each roll for garnish.
  7. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes until they are puffed up and golden brown on top.
  8. Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the rolls to a wire rack or plate to stop bottom cooking. Let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly and to cool down for easier eating.

Notes

  • For extra crispy bacon, cook it in the oven on a foil-lined pan or skillet before mixing into the filling.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is well softened for easier mixing and spreading.
  • Use cold or room temperature egg for egg wash, and brush lightly to avoid sogginess.
  • These can be made ahead and warmed slightly before serving if desired.
  • Substitute cheddar with other cheese varieties like mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
  • Can be served with ranch or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
