Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large onions sliced into rings
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten

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.
