Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 large onion
  • 3 large eggs; beaten
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs; seasoned
  • 2 tbsp. Delmas Seasoning
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • Heat the Oil: In a deep pot or deep fryer, heat your oil to 350°F. Maintaining the correct temperature is important so the onion cooks evenly and becomes crispy without absorbing too much oil.
    Prepare the Coating Station: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until well combined. In another shallow bowl, mix the seasoned breadcrumbs with the Delmas seasoning. Place the all-purpose flour in a separate bowl.
    Coat the Onion: Start by coating the onion thoroughly in flour, making sure it reaches between the petals. Shake off any excess flour.
    Next, carefully dip the onion into the egg wash, ensuring all layers are coated.
    Finally, dredge the onion in the breadcrumb mixture. Use your hands or a spoon to gently press the breadcrumbs between the petals so the coating sticks evenly.

  • Fry Until Golden and Crispy: Carefully lower the coated onion into the hot oil, cut-side down first if possible. Fry until the onion is golden brown and crispy, turning carefully if needed to cook evenly.
    Remove the onion from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack to drain excess oil.
    Serve and Enjoy: Serve your crispy bloomin onion warm with your favorite dipping sauce — something creamy and slightly spicy works beautifully.
