How to Make Asparagus Cheese Squares With Crescent Crust
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan.
- Unroll one package (8 ounces) of refrigerated crescent roll dough and press it into the prepared pan, ensuring the perforations are sealed.
- Brush the dough with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped, and sauté for 6-7 minutes. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound of asparagus. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Add the asparagus to the skillet with the onion and garlic. Sauté for 6-7 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
- Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Spoon the asparagus and onion mixture evenly over the partially baked crescent roll crust.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, followed by 1 cup shredded Swiss or mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
