Instead of being battered and deep-fried, this onion is brushed with melted butter and mustard, sprinkled with bread crumbs and seasonings and baked. “It’s an impressive-looking appetizer, and the dip can be used for veggies and crackers, too,” says Kendra. —Kendra Doss, Kansas City, Missouri

I loved the sauce but the onion was only ok.

I just made this last week and my husband and I really liked it. I also added horseradish to the sauce.

We also liked pulling all the segments apart after the first 20 minutes and coating all the onion slices with the mustard/butter mix and then sprinkling with the topping (of which we used Amaranth Cereal Flakes for a g/f version). It was easier to get the portions on plates for sharing.

This was fabulous! I will make it again and again. I never thought I'd be able to really enjoy a blooming onion without the guilt, but this was delicious! I did however use regular sour cream and panko crumbs as it's what I had on hand. I will definitely make sure I have fat free sour cream on hand for this in the future. The only thing that I added to the sauce was horseradish, as I like it spicy...just a personal preference. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!!
