Haven't tried it yet but will soon. I think the vidalia onion is a great idea. I think if I try to add some low sodium Adobo Seasoning to the beaten egg white mixture it may have enough seasoning. I realize the egg white is there to help everything stick to the onion. This is supposed to be a healthy alternative to the original "Bloomin' Onion" so the butter and olive oil would defeat the purpose.

I used a vidalia onion instead. The egg white was tasteless, so I used 2 Tbs butter, and 2Tbs olive oil instead with the bread crumb and spice mixture. for the sauce, I used 3 Tbs low fat sour cream, 1 Tbs mayonaise, and sriracha hot chilli sauce to taste. It was delicious!
