Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Grilled Onion Blossoms
  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, cayenne pepper, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Mix well until smooth.
  3. Peel the sweet Vidalia onions and trim only the stem end, ensuring the root remains intact. Make several vertical cuts into the onion about three-quarters of the way down.
  4. Gently pull apart the layers and generously stuff the creamy filling between each section.
  5. Place the stuffed onions directly on the grill. Close the lid and grill for about 30-35 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  6. Remove the onions from the grill and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve warm.
