Ingredients

• 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 cups fried onions
• 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons pepper
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion.

Step 3

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface and press the seams together to form a rectangle.

Step 5

Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly over the dough.

Step 6

Spread the caramelized onions evenly on the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and fried onions on top of the caramelized onions.

Step 8

Fold one side of the dough over the filling to meet the other, pressing down lightly to seal the edges.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the filled dough into 8 long strips. Twist each strip gently and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Brush the egg wash over the top of each twisted stick.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Step 14

Serve warm as a snack or appetizer, with a favorite dipping sauce if desired.
