Ingredients
Bloomin Onion
- 1 large onion white or yellow
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs

Bloomin Onion Sauce
- Thousand Island dressing

Instructions
- Mix together all dried ingredients in a large bowl.
- In a separate large bowl, mix together eggs and milk.
- Remove the papery skin, and then cut off ½ inch from the pointy end of the onion.
- Place the onion cut-side down on a cutting board and start ½ inch from the root, cut vertically downward.
- Repeat and you will get about 12-16 sections.
- Turn the onion over and it will look like an onion flower. Open the onion petals more with your fingers.
- Place the onion flower in the flour mixture. Lift and shake off excess flour.
- Place into the egg wash, and return to the flour mixture.
- Lift the onion and place onto a plate. Freeze for 30-60 minutes.
- In a deep fryer or pot, heat the oil to 350°F.
- Place the onion flower into the pot, cut-side facing down. Fry for 3-4 minutes. Turn it over and fry for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
- Mix the thousand island and creamy horseradish sauce to make the blooming onion sauce.
- Dip the bloomin onion petals into the dipping sauce and enjoy!
