• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Onion Rings

• Slice the onions into thick rings and separate them.

• Pair similar-sized rings to create space between them and fill that gap with mozzarella slices or shreds.

2. Freeze the Rings

• Place the stuffed rings on a tray and freeze for 30–60 minutes. This step helps the cheese stay intact while frying.
