Mozzarella Onion Rings Cheese Sticks Recipe

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
