Overview

The Crispy Onion Blanket is a delightful take on the viral onion sheet trend that has taken social media by storm. This recipe elevates the concept by layering cheese, thinly sliced onions, and spicy salami, creating a dish that is both visually appealing and delicious. The key to success lies in the even distribution of ingredients, ensuring that every bite is packed with flavor.

This dish is perfect for casual gatherings, game days, or even as a fun appetizer for a dinner party. The crispy texture and savory flavors make it a crowd-pleaser, and you can easily adjust the ingredients to suit your taste. Whether you enjoy it as is or with a dipping sauce, the Crispy Onion Blanket is a recipe worth trying in your kitchen.
