🧀 Mozzarella Stick Onion Rings 🍽️

These Mozzarella Stick Onion Rings take your classic onion rings to the next level by adding a gooey mozzarella center! Crispy on the outside, cheesy on the inside, and perfect for dipping in marinara sauce, these delicious treats are sure to be a hit at your next party or as a tasty snack.

Ingredients

    • 2 large white onions

    • 3 slices mozzarella cheese

    • 2 cups flour (250g)

    • 5 eggs

    • 2 cups breadcrumbs (230g)

    • Oil for frying

    • Marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

    1. Preparation:
      Peel the onions and cut them into 1-centimeter (½ inch) rings. Carefully separate the rings. Slice the mozzarella into 4 even strips. Take a smaller onion ring and place it in the center of a larger one. Fill the gap between the rings with the mozzarella strips. For an extra cheesy kick, you can add another layer of cheese. Repeat this process with the remaining onion rings and freeze them for about 1 hour.

    1. Coating the Rings:
      Prepare three separate bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Take each prepared onion ring, coat it first in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, followed by the breadcrumbs. For an extra crispy coating, dip the rings back into the beaten eggs and breadcrumbs one more time. Repeat this process for all the onion rings and return them to the freezer.

    1. Frying:
      Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350˚F (175˚C). Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil and fry them until they turn golden brown. Be mindful not to fry them too long, as the cheese may begin to ooze out completely.

    1. Serve:
      Once fried to perfection, remove the onion rings from the oil and drain them on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Serve these Mozzarella Stick Onion Rings hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
