Layer with the biscuits, top with hot sauce, and just like that, you’ll have rich, savory restaurant-worthy egg sandwiches.

As much as we love them, the classic fried blooming onion has two major flaws—they are impossible to fully coat in batter and their core often doesn’t get fully cooked. These easy petals solve both problems by separating the pieces before "frying."
