Baked Blooming Onion

For the taste we crave, but the healthy options we like, this recipe does both!

1 red onion
1/4 cup Panko bread crumbs (store brand works great also!)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 egg white (slightly beaten)

Cut the red onion 3/4 of the way down as many times as possible.
Combine crumbs, garlic, paprika and egg white.
Drizzle this over the onion, spray with olive oil if desired.
Bake at 375 degrees for 40 - 50 minutes in your 8 x 8 baker. Enjoy!

Spicy Dipping Sauce: 3 Tablespoons cottage cheese (put in blender until smooth), 1 Tablespoon mayonnaise, 1/8 teaspoon horseradish, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Mix and serve with onion.
