rench Onion Beef Roll-Ups are a delicious and savory appetizer that’s perfect for any party! These roll-ups combine tender beef, caramelized onions, and melted cheese in a flaky crescent roll for a bite-sized treat that’s hard to resist.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
  • ½ lb (225 g) thinly sliced roast beef (deli-style or leftover roast beef)
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded Swiss or Gruyère cheese
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp (30 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional, for caramelizing onions)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • ½ cup (125 ml) French onion soup or beef broth (optional, for dipping)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Caramelize the Onions:
    • Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown (10-15 minutes).
    • If desired, sprinkle sugar halfway through for extra caramelization.
    • Stir in garlic powder and thyme, then set aside.
  3. Prepare the Dough:
    • Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforations.
  4. Assemble the Roll-Ups:
    • Place a slice of roast beef on each dough triangle.
    • Top with a small spoonful of caramelized onions and a sprinkle of cheese.
    • Roll up the dough from the wide end to the tip, enclosing the filling.
  5. Brush with Egg Wash:
    • Place the roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown.
  7. Prepare the Dip (Optional):
    • While the roll-ups bake, warm the French onion soup or beef broth for dipping.
  8. Serve:
    • Allow the roll-ups to cool slightly, then serve warm with the dipping sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle the roll-ups with grated Parmesan before baking.
  • Use leftover prime rib or steak for a luxurious twist.
  • Add a slice of sautéed mushroom with the onions for added richness.

These bite-sized treats are guaranteed to be a hit at your next gathering!
