Instructions
Preparation Steps
Peel and slice the onions into rings. Separate the rings.
Prepare three shallow dishes. In the first, place the flour. In the second, whisk the eggs. In the third, combine the panko breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
Take a mozzarella ring, dredge it in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then coat it generously with the panko breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with all mozzarella rings.
In a deep pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 180°C (350°F).
Carefully fry the coated mozzarella rings in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
Remove the fried rings with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
These mozzarella onion rings are best enjoyed fresh and hot.
