Ingredients

  • 6 small onions sliced thin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 5 slices bacon
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 sheet rolled biscuit dough enough to cover an 8x12 pan

Instructions

  • Cook the bacon in a skillet or in the oven until crispy enough to chop.  Let the bacon cool, and chop into small pieces.
  • Melt butter in a skillet, and sauté onions until soft, around 5-10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and mix in beaten egg and salt.
  • Roll out biscuit dough onto an 8" by 12" pan.
  • Over the dough, spread the onion and egg mixture, and sprinkle with the chopped bacon.
  • Bake in a 450º oven until golden brown, roughly 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve, and enjoy!

Notes

For the biscuit dough, you can easily use Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dough sheets or an 8oz can of Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls.
