Ingredients:
- 100g of Mozzarella cheese, cut into sticks
- 1 large onion, cut into rings
- 50g of all-purpose flour
- 100g of breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Cooking oil, for deep frying
Instructions:
- Prep the Ingredients:
- Begin by slicing the mozzarella cheese into stick shapes that will fit inside your onion rings. Peel and slice the onion into thick rings, carefully separating them.
- Assembly:
- Take an onion ring and insert a mozzarella stick inside it. If necessary, trim the cheese to ensure it fits snugly within the onion ring. Repeat this process until all your onion rings are filled with cheese.
- Coating:
- Place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in three separate shallow dishes. This will be your coating station.
- First, roll each cheese-filled onion ring in the flour, ensuring it’s lightly coated on all sides.
- Dip the floured rings into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Finally, coat the rings in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs for a crispy finish.
- Frying:
- Heat the cooking oil in a deep fryer or a deep pan to 180°C (350°F). Carefully lower the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serving:
- Serve your Mozzarella Onion Rings Cheese Sticks hot and crispy, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauces such as marinara, ranch, or a spicy aioli.
This delightful recipe combines the best of both worlds – the creamy, stretchy joy of mozzarella sticks and the satisfying crunch of onion rings. Perfect for parties, game nights, or as a treat for yourself, these cheese sticks are sure to be a hit. Enjoy the process and the delicious outcome!
