Doesn't this photo awesome and pretty? It totally reminds me of a flower. I think it's very artistic and creative.

LIST:
For The Blooming Onion:
1 large Vidalia onion
2/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1 Tbsp. Cajun or blackening seasoning or italian seasoning
1/4 tsp. salt
2 eggs
optional sides: ketchup, spicy dipping sauce (see below), ranch dip, or honey mustard

For The Spicy Dipping Sauce:
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or mayo)
2 Tbsp. ketchup
2 tsp. horseradish sauce
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. smoked paprika
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. oregano

HOWTO:
To Make The Blooming Onion:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

On a cutting board, use a knife to cut off the top (not the root) 1/4-inch of the onion until a few of the inside layers are exposed. Peel the outermost layer of the onion down to the root, but leave the root intact.

Lay the onion on the cutting board so that the flat side (that you just cut) is facing downward. Then use a knife to section the onion into 16ths, beginning with your knife 1/8-inch away from the root and cutting straight down. Once all cuts are complete, turn the onion over and set on a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Then use your fingers to gently spread apart the petals. If any of your cuts did not go all the way through, you can use a paring knife to be sure that the entire onion is cut into 16ths.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Panko, Cajun seasoning and salt until combined.

In a separate (additional) bowl, whisk the eggs until combined.

Beginning with the lowest (bottom) layers of the onion, brush the top of each petal with the egg mixture until coated, then immediately sprinkle with the Panko mixture. Repeat until all petals are coated. It is kind of tedious, but worth it!

Carefully form a tent with aluminum foil over the baking sheet until the onion is completely enclosed. Bake for 5 minutes, then remove tent and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the onion is soft and the tips are lightly crisped.

Remove and serve with desired sauces.

To Make The Spicy Dipping Sauce:
Whisk all ingredients together until combined. Serve immediately or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week.

Pancake with Bacon

When I first visited this recipe I thought the pancake looks really nice and big. Then I scrolled down the page and found out that it had bacon hidden inside. I just had to share this creative recipe. I don't think I would ever think of doing something like this. If I did it would have been accidental.

This is so cool. Look at that, very nice.

Bake at 180C for about 20-25 mins, puffed up and golden, turn off heat and leave in the oven for several minutes before removing them out. ( i baked at 200C for 10mins, reduced to 180C for around 15 mins)

For swan necks:
Fill them into a piping bag, snip off the end of the piping bag leaving a small hole and pipe out the neck shape. Bake for around 10-13 minutes.
