Bacon and Cream Cheese Appetizer Recipe
When it comes to appetizers, I have this ongoing love with cream cheesy recipes. Seriously, though – if I’m going to be making multiple appetizers, you can bet that at least one, if not all, of the recipes I choose are filled with cream cheese.
Maybe that’s why I love this Bacon and Cream Cheese Appetizer recipe so much. Cream cheese and bacon, all wrapped up in a crescent roll. Definitely my idea of heaven.
These little two-bite appetizers are perfect for sharing and perfect for parties. You can bet that these will be a crowd favorite!
Ingredients
Here is what you need to make this easy appetizer recipe:
- Cream Cheese – make sure it is at room temperature
- Bacon – cooked and crumbled
- Parmesan Cheese – I think this is best when you freshly grate it
- Onion – finely chopped so that it blends into the filling
- Parsley – fresh is best!
- Milk – I use 2% because that is what I always have on hand
- Crescent Rolls – If you can find the ones that come as a sheet instead of with the perforations, it it a little easier. But you can just press the perforations together, as well!
- Butter – I use unsalted, but salted would be fine, too
- Poppy Seeds – You don’t have to add the poppy seeds but I love the color and texture they bring.
Tips and Tricks
This Crescent Roll Recipe is super easy to make!
- Like I mentioned above, these are easiest with the crescent roll sheets, but I usually just use the regular crescent rolls because that is what I can find.
- You can make these bigger or smaller, but I love their 2 bite size.
- To roll them, start at the pointy end. When you get to the end of rolling, take the 2 ends that are sticking out and press them into the center.
- You can serve these warm or at room temperature.

Bacon and Cream Cheese Crescent Appetizer Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
- 8 slices bacon crisply cooked and crumbled
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 cans 8 oz each refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, bacon, parmesan cheese, onion, parsley and milk.
- Open one can of dough and separate the dough into four rectangles. Firmly press the perforations together to seal.
- Spread each rectangle with 2 rounded tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture. Cut each rectangle into 6 triangles. (I think this is easiest to do with a pizza cutter.) Roll up the triangles, starting with the short end then tucking the two long ends in.
- Place the appetizers on a lined baking sheet. Continue with the second can of crescent rolls.
- Brush the tops of each appetizer with the butter then sprinkle the poppy seeds on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10-12 minutes.
- Serve warm.
