ONION BLOOM
MAKES 2 SERVINGS
1 LARGE ONION
1/4 OZ CORN FLAKES, CRUSHED
PINCH RED PEPPER
PINCH SEASONED SALT
1 EGG WHITE WHIPPED UNTIL FOAMY
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 cup round baking dish
with cooking spray. Trim root end of onion so onion will stand
upright. Slice off 1/2 inch from top and remove peel. With a
sharp knife, cut triangle slices to center of onion, slicing from
top down and stopping 1/2 inch from bottom. Work your way
around to make several "petals". Spray with cooking spray and
place in microwavable safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high
for 3-4 minutes or until onion is slightly tender and petals have
begun to separate. In small bowl, combine corn flake crumbs,
seasoned salt, and pepper; set aside. In medium bowl, whip
egg white UNTIL FOAMY. Dip onion in egg white, coating the
petals thoroughly. Place in prepared baking dish and sprinkle
evenly with corn flake mixture. Bake until lightly browned and
crisp (about 10 - 12 minutes). POINTS 1 PER SERVING
