Equipment

Deep frying pan or pot
Slotted spoon
Pastry brush
Three shallow bowls
Measuring cups

Ingredients

3 Large onions (cut into thick slices)
12 units Mozzarella sticks
2 tablespoons Melted butter
1 clove Chopped garlic
2 Eggs (beaten)
2 cups Breadcrumbs
1 cup Wheat flour
to taste Salt and pepper
for frying Frying oil

Instructions

Slice large onions into thick rings and separate the layers.
Tuck a mozzarella stick into the center of each onion ring.
Set up three shallow bowls with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
Dip each onion ring in flour, then in the egg wash, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Heat frying oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
Fry the coated hoops for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Mix melted butter with chopped garlic and brush onto the warm rings.
Serve hot with marinara or ranch sauce on the side.
Enjoy with various dipping sauces for added flavor!

Notes

For extra crispiness, chill the assembled rings in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before frying. You can replace mozzarella with cheddar or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days, but they are best enjoyed fresh. Reheat in the oven for optimal crispiness. Experiment with different dipping sauces like BBQ or honey mustard for added flavor! Enjoy!
