Recipe Box, Parmesan Pumpkin & Bacon Spirals

Now that it’s officially pumpkin season,
celebrate with these savory spirals full of creamy pumpkin,
bacon and Parmesan cheese

These spirals are super simple to make,
and you can serve them for any meal or for party appetizers
I had some for dinner the other night with a side of broccoli salad

All you need is pumpkin puree, cream cheese, garlic powder,
bacon, Parmesan cheese and fresh sage
and good ole crescent roll dough

Have you ever used fully cooked bacon?
I picked up this package by Boar’s Head
The bacon wasn’t quite done enough for me
so I microwaved it for 30 seconds and it was perfect~
very convenient for using in recipes, but pretty pricey!

Put everything except the dough in a mixing bowl

Stir well to combine

Lay the dough on a piece of parchment paper
and spread the filling on in an even layer

Roll into a log starting from the long side

Wrap the log in the parchment paper
and refrigerate it for several hours
or place in the freezer for 20 minutes
This makes slicing easier

Cut the log into 1 inch slices
and bake on a non stick baking pan
or on a parchment lined baking sheet

When spirals are almost done,
top them with more Parmesan and continue baking
until the dough is cooked through and golden

Serve them warm or at room temperature

This recipe is adapted from Kudos Kitchen
