Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large onion
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Peel the onion and cut it into thick slices. Carefully separate the rings.
- In a bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Stuff each onion ring with the cheese mixture.
- Dip each stuffed onion ring into the flour, then into the milk, and then coat with breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a pan and fry the onion rings until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use any type of cheese, but mozzarella provides the best melt.
- For an extra crispy coating, double coat the onion rings by dipping them back into the milk and breadcrumbs after the first round.
- These onion rings can also be baked instead of fried for a lighter version. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes.
