Ingredients

• 1 can (8 oz) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble into small pieces.

Step 3

While the bacon cooks, peel and thinly slice the onion. After the bacon is removed from the skillet, discard most of the grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet.

Step 4

Melt the butter in the skillet with the reserved bacon grease over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle in half lengthwise to create 16 smaller triangles.

Step 6

Place a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, and crumbled bacon on the widest end of each triangle. Roll the dough toward the point, enclosing the filling.

Step 7

Arrange the crescent bites on the prepared baking sheet, point side down. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
