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.
3. Bread the Rings
-
Set up a dredging station with flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs + Parmesan.

Fry rings in batches for 2–3 minutes or until golden and crispy.
