Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium, thinly sliced yellow onions
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust. Gently press to seal the perforations in the dough.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until they are soft and beginning to caramelize.
Sprinkle the sugar over the onions and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Season with salt, black pepper, and thyme (if using). Remove from heat.
Spread the caramelized onion mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the top of the onions.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm. Enjoy!
