Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the onion, then add it to the skillet.

Step 4

Sprinkle the sugar over the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until they are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each dough triangle.

Step 8

Top each triangle with a small amount of the caramelized onions.

Step 9

Roll up each triangle from the wide end to the point, creating a crescent shape.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Brush the tops of the crescent rolls with the egg wash for a golden, glossy finish.

Step 12

Place the rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 14

Remove the appetizers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving warm.
