1. Mix breadcrumbs with olive oil & Cajun seasoning. In a
separate dish, mix salt & pepper, paprika & garlic into the
flour. In a bowl, mix milk with egg.

cutting board.
3. Starting ½ inch from the root, cut downward, all the way
to the cutting board. Repeat to make 4 evenly spaced cuts
around the onion.
4. Continue slicing between each section until you have
made 8 cuts total.
5. Place sliced onion in ice water for at least 2 hours /
overnight. Remove from water, pat dry. Open onion so
"petals" are exposed.
