Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon dry sherry
  • 1 tube (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Caramelize the Onions: In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions, thyme, and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until the onions are deeply golden brown, soft, and sweet.
  • Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the beef broth and sherry (if using), scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly. Season generously with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
  • Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Press the perforations together to seal them, then cut the large sheet of dough into 12 equal squares.
  • Assemble the Bites: Gently press each dough square into the cups of a standard mini muffin tin. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of the onion mixture into each cup, then top with a generous pinch of shredded Gruyère.
  • Bake to Perfection: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Let the bites cool in the pan for just a minute before carefully removing them. Serve warm.
