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
