Biscuits, Pinwheel Onion

Recipe Introduction


From "Healthy Meals in Minutes", 1996





List of Ingredients



• 1 tbsp olive oil
  
• 1 medium yellow onion, sliced (about 1 cup)
  
• 1/2 tsp thyme
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  
• 1 container (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  
• 1 egg white, lightly beaten
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray.
   
   
2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion to skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper.
   
   
3. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Brush with egg white. Spread onion mixture over dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
   
   
4. Starting with a short end, roll up dough jelly-roll style. Slice dough into 6 biscuits. (Chill for about 15 minutes before baking. This helps them hold their shape in the oven.) Arrange biscuits, 2 inches apart, on prepared baking sheet.
   
   
5. Bake biscuits until golden, about 15 minutes. Place baking sheet on a wire rack and cool slightly.
