This past summer, one of my friends invited me over for a barbecue at his house. I happily accepted his invite knowing that he could cook and that there would be tons of good food there. After I arrived and greeted everyone I knew, I went into the kitchen to fix myself a plate. The first thing that caught my eye was a crispy golden brown fried onion. It had been years since I had previously gone to outback steakhouse and I completely forgot how good that their Bloomin Onions were. I excitedly put a few of the pieces on my plate and couldn’t wait to try them once again. After my first bite, I had found my old-found love for the delicious appetizer and immediately asked for his recipe. The following week, I went to the store and gathered my ingredients.

Ingredients

• 1 large white onion
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 large eggs

Step 1:

Start by cutting the onion. Cut the top off of the onion and then make even slices through the onion stopping 3/4 of an inch away from the bottom.

Step 2:

Next you will coat the onion. First in the batter which is made by mixing flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Then in the egg wash made out of the 2 eggs and milk.

Finally, fry the onion for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown.
