⬇️ Mozzarella-Stuffed Onion Rings with Garlic Butter 😋⬇️
Treat yourself to these irresistibly crispy and cheesy mozzarella-stuffed onion rings, perfect for snacking or as an appetizer! 🧀🧅
Ingredients:
2 large onions, peeled and sliced into rings
8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into sticks
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg
1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
Vegetable oil for frying
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
Slice the onions into thick rings and carefully separate them. Place the mozzarella sticks at the center of each larger ring, ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, pour in the breadcrumbs.
Dip each mozzarella-stuffed onion ring first in the flour mixture, then in the egg, and lastly in the breadcrumbs, pressing slightly for better adhesion. Repeat until all rings are coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the onion rings in batches for 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
While the onion rings are frying, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Mix in the chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired.
Once the onion rings are crispy, drizzle them with the garlic butter and serve warm.
Enjoy these deliciously crispy and gooey mozzarella-stuffed onion rings as a delightful treat! 🥳✨
