INGREDIENTS:

1 pound Prepared Pizza Dough

4 Jalapenos

6 strips Bacon

1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese

3/4 cup Cream Cheese

1 medium Egg, beaten

DIRECTION:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly butter a 8 inch round baking dish or cast iron skillet.

Divide the jalapenos, bacon and cheese into 12 equal portions and place in the middle of each dough circle. Wrap the dough around the filling, ensuring there are no gaps, then repeat with the remaining balls. Place, seam side down, in the prepared baking dish or skillet, brush with the beaten egg and bake for 15-20 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy!
