Ingredients –
The Base: –
• 4 Onions (red or white)
• 20g Butter (melted)
• Salt & Pepper to taste
Honey-Mustard Bed: –
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Mustard
Creamy Core: – • 50g Feta cheese
• 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
• 1 squeeze of Lemon juice
The Finish: –
• 10g Pistachios (roasted & finely crushed)
• Fresh Chives (chopped)
Optional (for the “Flower” Look): – • 4 Spring onions (green parts only)
• 4 Wooden skewers
• Dry White Beans (as a stabilizer)
Preparation –
The Cut – 1. Peel the onions and trim the tops, but keep the root intact, it’s what holds the flower together! 2. Place the onion between two wooden spoon handles (to prevent cutting all the way through). 3. Cut into 12 equal segments.
Caramelization – 1. Preheat your oven to 200°C / 400°F (top/bottom heat). 2. Place 4 dollops of the honey-mustard mixture on a baking sheet. 3. Place one onion directly on each dollop. 4. Brush with melted butter and season with salt and pepper. 4. Bake for about 20 minutes until the “blossoms” open up and the tips are golden brown.
The Filling – 1. While the onions are baking, blend the feta, yogurt, and lemon juice until completely smooth. 2. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag.
Assembly – 1. Pipe the feta cream into the center of the warm onion blossoms. 2. Sprinkle generously with pistachio “dust” and chives.
Presentation (Optional) – 1. Fill a tall, wide glass with dry white beans. 2. Thread the green parts of the spring onions onto the skewers and sear them briefly in a pan for a charred look. 3. Carefully skewer the onion flower and trim the stick so the blossom rests securely on the rim of the glass.
Enjoy! ♡

What’s the serving idea for these? You put a vase in the middle of the table and people take them as snacks and eat them off the sticks?
