Blooming Onions
This baked blooming onion recipe is brushed with melted butter and mustard, then sprinkled with bread crumbs and seasonings. It's a lighter version of the classic, which is battered and deep-fried. It's an impressive-looking appetizer, and the dip can be used for veggies and crackers too. —Kendra Doss, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet onions
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- SAUCE:
- 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
- 1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
- 1-1/2 teaspoons dried minced onion
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dill weed

- 3. In a small bowl, combine butter and mustard. Open foil. Brush butter mixture over onions; sprinkle with bread crumbs, salt and pepper.
