Let’s learn how to make Outback Steakhouse's Bloomin' Onion!

Take 1 large, sweet, yellow onion and cut off the top.

Place it cut-side down, and, using a sharp knife, make 1/2-inch cuts in a circular motion to create the ”petals." Then flip the onion over and, using your hands, begin coaxing apart its layers.

In a large bowl, combine 2 and 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 2 tablespoons paprika, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and ground black pepper to taste.

Place the onion cut-side down in the bowl, cover with a plate, and shake to coat onion and each "petal."

Meanwhile, in a separate medium bowl, mix 2 large eggs with 1 cup whole milk. Dip onion in egg wash cut-side down. Then shake off excess egg wash and return onion to flour mixture to coat a second time.

Shake off any excess flour.

In a deep-fryer or a heavy Dutch oven, heat oil to 375ºF. Add enough oil so that the entire onion will be able to float.

In the deep-fryer or Dutch oven, add the onion cut-side down in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes, then carefully flip the onion and allow it to fry for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until the batter is golden brown.

Move it to a plate covered in paper towels to drain off excess oil and season with a little salt.
