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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Thinly slice the yellow onion into half-moons.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, sugar, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface and separate it into individual triangles.

Step 6

On each triangle, spread a small spoonful of the caramelized onions near the wider end of the dough.

Step 7

Sprinkle a pinch of parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the onions.

Step 8

Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end to the narrow end, forming crescent shapes.

Step 9

Place the crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.

Step 11

Lightly brush the tops of each crescent with the egg wash to give them a golden finish as they bake.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are puffed and golden brown.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with extra parsley for presentation.
