INGREDIENTS:
FATHEAD DOUGH:
- 1 & ½ cups mozzarella cheese

FILLING:
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shreds
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 to 3 jalapeños
- Three slices of bacon
- ½ teaspoon garlic seasoning
INGREDIENT NOTES:
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- Utilize the low-moisture shredded mozzarella cheese to prepare the fathead dough because it melts smoothly and forms a stretchy dough that is easy to roll. It is best to shred the cheese fresh for the smoothest texture.
CREAM CHEESE:
- We have to use softened cream cheese in both the dough and the filling to form the rich and creamy texture. It also blends easily with the remaining ingredients for a smooth filling.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Utilize the finely ground almond flour to provide the dough with structure while keeping these pinwheels low in carbohydrates and gluten-free. It will form a soft yet sturdy dough.
EGG:
- Add one large egg to bind the fathead dough together and improve its flexibility. It helps to roll the dough easily without forming cracks.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- Utilize the sharp cheddar cheese to provide the bold cheesy flavor that pairs perfectly with the smoky bacon and spicy jalapeños. It is best to use freshly shredded cheddar for the smoothest filling.
JALAPEÑOS:
- Use the fresh jalapeños to add the signature spicy kick to these pinwheels. Eliminate the seeds and membranes to add the light spice, or leave some in if you prefer extra heat.
BACON:
- Add the crispy cooked bacon to provide a delicious smoky flavor and satisfying crunch in every bite. Drain any excess grease before crumbling it into the filling.
GARLIC SEASONING & SALT:
- Utilize the garlic seasoning and salt to enhance the creamy cheese filling without overpowering the fresh jalapeños. These simple seasonings balance all the flavors perfectly.
