Welcome viewers and introduce the dish: blooming onion with cheese dip.

Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine 200 grams of all-purpose flour, 2 eggs, and 200 milliliters of beer.

Add a pinch of salt and some dried oregano to the batter for flavor.

Mix the batter until smooth, ensuring it’s not too thick.

Slice the top off the onion and peel the outer skin.

Cut the onion into a blooming shape without cutting all the way through the bottom.

Prepare the cheese dip: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 2 tablespoons of crème fraîche and 150 grams of grated Noord-Holland Gouda cheese, stirring until melted.

Once the cheese dip is ready, set it aside and return to the onion.

Dredge the onion in the batter, ensuring it gets into the cuts to help it bloom.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer and carefully lower the battered onion into the hot oil.

Fry the onion until golden brown, then remove and let it drain on paper towels.

Serve the blooming onion hot with the melted cheese dip on the side.
