Ingredients

4 fully cooked bratwursts, cut in half

1 can (8-count) crescent roll dough

1 ½ cups caramelized onion

1 teaspoon water

1 large egg

1 ½ cups cheddar cheese, shredded

1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
