Blooming Onion
"You've likely heard of blooming onion from Outback Steakhouse or the likes of your favorite chain restaurants, but now you can make it right at home. This fried appetizer is a cool little twist on onion rings and is fun to pull apart and dunk in sauce. This restaurant-style blooming onion is sliced into petals, double dipped in an egg mixture then seasonings, and fried to a crispy golden brown. It’s one of the tastiest party appetizers for football parties or gatherings! "
