Ingredients
– 2 large sweet onions, cut into ½ inch slices
– 1 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into ½ inch slices
– ½ cup flour
– 2 beaten eggs
– 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
– ½ cup marinara sauce
Instructions
1-First, slice the onions into ½ inch wide rings and the mozzarella into ½ inch wide slices as mentioned.
2-Next, pair the onion rings to create a gap and insert a mozzarella slice to fill it completely.
3-Then, coat the stuffed rings in the flour and freeze them for at least 45 minutes, or better yet, overnight for the best results.
4-After freezing, dip the rings into the beaten eggs followed by a full coating of breadcrumbs.
5-Deep-fry the coated rings in peanut or canola oil until they turn lightly golden brown, which usually takes just a few minutes.
6-Finally, drain them on paper towels and serve hot with the marinara sauce for that perfect dip.

🍅 Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for best flavor and texture.
🧂 Use a neutral oil like peanut or canola oil for frying to achieve a crispy golden coating without overpowering flavors.
