1

Prepare the Onion

Remove the skin and cut off the top of a large onion, leaving the root intact. Make vertical cuts from the top to the root, being careful not to cut all the way through. Gently separate the petals to create a blooming effect.

2

Stuff the Onion

Get creative and stuff each space between the petals with your favorite blend of shredded cheese. Cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix of cheeses all work perfectly here.

3

Dredge the Onion in Flour

In a shallow dish, mix together flour, salt, and pepper. Carefully place the stuffed onion into the flour mixture, making sure to coat all the petals and the onion itself.

4

Dip the Onion in an Egg Mixture

In a separate dish, beat an egg with a splash of milk. Dip the flour-coated onion into the egg mixture, ensuring all the nooks and crannies are well covered.

5

Coat the Onion in Breadcrumbs

In a third dish, combine breadcrumbs with your favorite seasonings. Roll the egg-coated onion in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to make sure it adheres to the onion and cheese.

6

Fry the Onion to Golden Perfection

Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer. Carefully lower the coated onion into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to remove the onion from the oil, letting it drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

7

Serve and Enjoy

Place the cheese-stuffed blooming onion on a serving plate and marvel at its cheesy deliciousness. Serve with a side of your favorite dipping sauce and get ready to indulge in ooey-gooey goodness!
