How to Make Bacon Onion Appetizers

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled, 1/2 cup caramelized onions, 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
  2. Unroll one can (8 ounces) of refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate into 8 rectangles.
  3. Firmly press the perforations on each triangle to seal, forming a rectangle.
  4. Evenly spread the bacon and onion mixture over each dough rectangle.
  5. Roll up each rectangle tightly, starting from the short side.
  6. Pinch the seam to seal securely.
  7. Cut each roll into 4 slices, creating bite-sized pinwheels.
  8. Place the pinwheels onto an ungreased baking sheet.
  9. Gently flatten each pinwheel slightly with your hand.
  10. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
