Baked Bloomin' Onion

Ok so I'll admit the deep-fried version probably tastes better but this one's pretty good and a lot better for you.

1 medium onion
2 tbsps bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten

Using an apple slicer cut the onion almost all the way through then remove the slicer.  You'll have to push and prod a bit but it'll come off.

Gently pull apart the sections and brush in between with the beaten egg. Sprinkle the bread crumbs next. I used Italian seasoned crumbs, but you could also add your own seasonings like garlic, oregano, etc.

Sit the onion on a sheet of parchment paper and tent a piece of foil over the top.

Into the oven it goes at 400 F for 5 minutes then remove the foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes. Broil a couple of minutes at the end to get nice brown tips.

Serve with sour cream, low fat if we're still trying to be healthy ; )
