Yield: 2 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 large sweet onions; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder; 1/2 teaspoon paprika; 1/2 cup breadcrumbs; 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese; Fresh dill, chopped (for garnish); 1/2 cup mayonnaise; 1/4 cup sour cream; 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped; 1 tablespoon lemon juice; 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard; Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
To prepare the onions, peel them and cut about 1/2 inch off the top of each onion. Place the onions cut-side down on a cutting board and make vertical cuts 3/4 of the way down into the onion, creating 'petals' but ensuring the base is still intact.
Place the onions on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the top of each onion, ensuring it gets into the cuts. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Bake the onions for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the onions and return them to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
While the onions are baking, prepare the dill sauce. In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, fresh dill, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Once the onions are done baking, remove them from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh dill. Serve the Baked Onion Blossom hot with the creamy dill sauce on the side for dipping.
