Hitch up your Bloomers!

I do not own a Fry-daddy or whatever they are called, but if I did .... then I would make Blooming Onions at least twice weekly. The best ones I have ever had were at the Great NYS Fair in Syracuse, NY. I would either go with my parents or siblings and set out for an entire day of eating, who gives a shit about the actual fair when there is fair food everywhere?! Since I don't own a fryer, I found an awesome recipe for Blooming Onion Bread, real easy, real good!

Blooming Onion Bread

1 large unsliced loaf sourdough bread 

1.5 - 2 pounds Monterey Jack cheese, thinly sliced

1.5 sticks butter, melted

1 cup finely diced green onion

2 teaspoons poppy seeds

1 teaspoon garlic salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut the bread lengthwise and widthwise without cutting through the bottom crust. This can be a little tricky going the second way but the bread is very forgiving. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Insert cheese slices between cuts. Combine butter, onion, and poppy seeds in a mug and microwave until melted. Drizzle over bread and sprinkle garlic salt over the bread. Wrap in foil; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Unwrap the bread and bake 10 more minutes, or until cheese is melted.
