Cheesy Stuffed Mozzarella Onion Rings
Ingredients: (Makes 9 onion rings)
2 large white onions
3 slices mozzarella cheese, cut into strips
2 cups flour (250 g)
5 eggs, beaten
2 cups breadcrumbs (230 g)
Oil, for frying
Marinara sauce, for dipping
Directions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Onions & Cheese:
Peel and slice the onions into ½-inch (1 cm) thick rings.
Separate the rings, keeping them in pairs (one larger and one smaller).
Cut the mozzarella into 4 even strips per slice.
2️⃣ Assemble the Rings:
Place a smaller onion ring inside a larger one.
Fill the gap with mozzarella strips (use two layers for extra cheesiness!).
Repeat with the remaining onion rings and freeze for 1 hour to help them hold their shape.
3️⃣ Coating Process:
Prepare 3 separate bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
Coat each onion ring in flour, then dip into the egg, then into breadcrumbs.
Repeat the egg and breadcrumb coating one more time for an extra crispy texture.
Place the coated rings back in the freezer while heating the oil.
4️⃣ Frying the Onion Rings:
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
Fry each ring until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).
Drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy:
Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
Enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness! 🤤
