Whether you’re hosting a party, looking for a crowd-pleasing snack, or simply treating yourself to a tasty treat, these Mozzarella Stick Onion Rings are guaranteed to hit the spot.
Ingredients:
- 2 large white onions
- 3 slices mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups flour (250 g)
- 5 eggs
- 2 cups breadcrumbs (230 g)
- Oil for frying
- Marinara sauce for dipping
Directions:
- Preparation: Start by peeling the onions and cutting them into 1-centimeter (½ inch) rings. Separate the rings carefully. Next, 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 then freeze them for about 1 hour.
- Coating the Rings: Prepare three separate bowls with flour, eggs (beaten), and breadcrumbs. Take each prepared onion ring and 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 then place them back in the freezer.
- 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 for too long, as the cheese may start to ooze out completely.
- 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 delectable Mozzarella Stick Onion Rings hot with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
