It seems as if I have a bit of an obsessive personality. You see, my aunt made these little Bacon Pinwheels as an appetizer for Thanksgiving and, well, I continued obsessing about them for days after eating them. They are so cute! And tasty! And full of bacon and cheese!
Like a good food blogger, I embraced the obsession and whipped these little guys up in no time flat. I knew that until I had made them myself there was no way I’d be able to get them out of my head. I’m sad (and kinda happy) to report that making these myself really didn’t help. The kids and I are addicted to them. We might have even eaten them for dinner one night.
I just kinda winged this one, so forgive the lack of precise measurements. Honestly, though, I’m pretty sure it’d be impossible to screw these tasty little treats up.
In other news, I’m kinda addicted to all of the many food blogs out there with the gorgeous photographs and pretty writing all over their images. So…I copied them. I did. Is that bad? It’s just…it’s so pretty. What do you think? Text on the photos or no?

I was just thinking that with a side of scrambled eggs these would be the most awesome with breakfast! YUM!!! (great…now, I’m drooling all over my key board)

Remind me not to read your blog until I’ve eaten breakfast. YUM! Those look awesome. Who doesn’t love bread, cheese and bacon?!

The last time I emailed one of you posts to my husband, he made it for dinner that night. So emailing this one right now.

Just hearing the words bacon and cheese triggers an obsession for me. Really. You have created a monster.

Is it possible to use another type of cheese instead of cream cheese? I have the worst aversion to cream cheese (I can’t stand the taste). Or does this have a very strong taste of “zomg!CREAMCHEESE!”?

I prefer the pictures with no text–your pictures are amazing as is! That said, it’s your blog, do what makes you happy. I love your sense of humor and taste in food so text or not, I’m here. : )

Jade,
You can just leave the cream cheese out, if you like! I don’t think the ones that I first tried had it in there, but I thought they were a bit dry, so I added it for a bit of creaminess. Flavor-wise, I don’t think you would notice the cream cheese in these if you weren’t the one spreading it on the dough.
You could also substitute a different cheese…maybe sprinkle on a bit of monterey jack in addition to the cheddar? I think that would work just fine!
Enjoy!
Karly

Karly, I love this post! I’m so with you on being an obsessive foodie! These bacon pin wheels look really amazing! I just started following you on twitter 😉
Michelle says
Cheese and bacon in a flaky crescent roll? I’m on board! I think I could eat a whole batch by myself, actually.
grace says
you’re on a roll, karly! (insert rimshot here.) seriously, these are great. as for the text, well, i only use it when i’m trying to mask a particularly bad picture. 🙂
Christy says
I am going to make these! I love that you used the word smoosh…like the Jersey Shore peeps.
Jamie says
Are these good served at room temperature? Love your blog
Rachel @ Baked by Rachel says
Cheese and bacon? Yes please 🙂 Though I think I’d sub in shredded cheese since I’m *gasp* not a cream cheese fan. Still totally love this idea!
Ellen says
Gorgeous phoos! Any guesstimation on how much this makes?
Karly says
@Ellen,
Thank you!
It makes about ten, depending on how thick you slice them. 🙂
