Directions

  1. Thanks for reading! You can find the original recipe and many more on my blog here: http://sallycooks.com/2013/11/14/vidalia-onion-gratin-baked-bloomin-onions/I scaled the recipe to serve two and added the cornflake topping but this would be great for a crowd if you increased the proportions and made it in a large casserole dish. You could also use bread crumbs in place of cornflakes. I love the sweetness of Vidalia onions with the robust herbs and and crispy, buttery cornflakes.
