Instructions

For the Bloomin' Onion

1. Preheat oven to 400
2. Peel the onions. On a cutting board, use a knife to cut the off the top (not the root) 1/4 inch of the onion. Hold the onion so that the flat part you just cut is on the cutting board. Start to cut the onion in half, but stop about 1/2 an inch before the bottom. Cut in half again, and then into eighths.
3. Carefully peel the layers back so the onion opens up slightly.
4. In a small bowl, mix the flour, cajun seasoning and salt. In another bowl of the same size, whisk the eggs.
5. Take another bowl that is slightly larger than the onion and place the onion in it, flat side down. Pour the egg mixture over the onion, being sure to coat the onion completely. Pour the excess eggs back into their bowl.
6. Sprinkle the flour mixture over the onion until well coated. Repeat for all the onions.
7. Place the onions on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake for 15-20 minutes or until slightly crispy.

For the dipping sauce:

1. Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl.
2. Refrigerate until ready to use.
