Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 8 ounces crescent roll dough
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thinly slice the yellow onion into half-moons.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until they are soft and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface and separate it into individual triangles.
On each triangle, spread a small spoonful of the caramelized onions near the wider end of the dough.
Sprinkle a pinch of parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the onions.
Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end to the narrow end, forming crescent shapes.
Place the crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
Lightly brush the tops of each crescent with the egg wash to give them a golden finish as they bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with extra parsley for presentation.
