EASY AND GOOD CRESCENT ONION SQUARES
Really you can top the crescents with just about anything you desire, but I like this combo the best! Can use minced crushed dryed onion flakes or onion powder in place of the green or yellow onions or caramilized onions are great too. Serve warm out of the oven with dinner. I think you will find yourself making these quite a lot, they are that good and so easy to make!
