     Title: Baked Bloomin' Onion
Categories: Five, Vegetables, Breads, Herbs
     Yield: 4 servings

    1 lg Sweet onion; 1084, Vidalia,
         - Maui or Walla Walla
    3 tb Melted butter
    2 ts Dijon mustard
    3 tb Panko bread crumbs
    1 tb Smokey paprika

MMMMM----------------------DIPPING SAUCE-----------------------------
         Bottled ranch dressing

 Heat oven to 425°F/218°C.

 Peel skin from onion and cut off top 1/4". Leave root
 end on to hold onion together. Cut through the onion
 from the top down to the bottom, stopping 1/2" to 1/4"
 short of bottom (leave bottom intact), forming 16
 wedges.

 Place on a 12" square sheet of foil. Fold up foil around
 the onion and place in an oven safe baking dish or pie
 plate. Bake for 20 minutes.

 Meanwhile combine the butter and mustard in a small bowl
 and mix well.

 Remove the onion from the oven and open the foil. Fold
 it down to make a 1" high rim around the onion; crimp
 edges to seal. With a pastry brush, coat the onion with
 the butter mixture, then sprinkle liberally with bread
 crumbs and paprika.

 Return onion to the oven and bake an additional 15 to 20
 minutes, or until crispy tender. Pour the ranch dressing
 into a small bowl. Place the cooked onion on a serving
 plate and set the dressing bowl in the center or
 alongside.

 TIP: Any favorite dressing that goes well with onions
 can be used for dipping sauce.
