Mozzarella Onion Rings Recipe

Introduction

Mozzarella Onion Rings are a fun and cheesy twist on the classic onion ring. Imagine biting into a crispy, golden-brown ring that reveals a gooey mozzarella cheese center surrounded by a tender onion. These are perfect as a party appetizer, snack, or side dish. They combine the irresistible flavors of fried mozzarella sticks and onion rings, creating a delicious and crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

• 2 large onions
• 8 oz mozzarella cheese block or string cheese
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Marinara sauce or ranch dressing, for dipping

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Onion Rings

1. Slice the Onions: Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Carefully separate each layer of the onion into individual rings. Set aside.
2. Cut the Mozzarella: If using a mozzarella block, cut the cheese into strips that are about 1/4-inch thick and long enough to fit inside the onion rings. If using string cheese, cut it into strips that fit inside the onion rings.
3. Assemble the Onion Rings: Take two onion rings of different sizes (one smaller and one larger) and fit the smaller ring inside the larger one, leaving a small gap between them. Place a strip of mozzarella cheese in the gap. Repeat with the remaining onion rings and cheese strips.
