Instructions

Heat oven to 350°F.
Spray 24 miniature muffin cups with cooking spray; set aside.
In 12-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat.
Add onions; cook 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
If onions are browning too fast, reduce heat to medium.
Carefully add 1/4 cup of the water; stir to deglaze pan.
Cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Repeat deglazing with remaining 1/4 cup water.
Cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until water is absorbed and onions are deeply browned and tender.
Stir in salt; transfer caramelized onions to bowl, and cool 15 minutes at room temperature.
Chop onions; reserve.
If using crescent rolls: Unroll dough; separate into 4 rectangles.
Firmly press perforations to seal.
If using dough sheet: Unroll dough; cut in half horizontally and vertically to form 4 rectangles.
Cut each rectangle into 6 squares (about 2x2 inches each).
Gently press squares into miniature muffin cups (dough will not completely cover inside of cup; do not press too much).
Spoon about 2 teaspoons chopped onions into each cup.
Top with about 2 teaspoons cheese.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until edges are deep golden brown.
Cool in pan on cooling rack 5 minutes; remove from muffin cups.
Garnish with chives.
