Mozzarella Onion Rings are a fun and cheesy twist on the classic onion ring.

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.
