- Coating Process
- Set up three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
- Dip each onion ring in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.
- Repeat the egg and breadcrumb coating for a double layer.
- Freeze coated rings for at least 30 minutes to prevent cheese from leaking during frying.
- Frying
- Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the rings until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Drain on paper towels.
- Serve
- Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
- Enjoy!
Variations
- Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the breadcrumbs.
- Cheese Blend: Use a mix of mozzarella and cheddar for a sharper flavor.
- Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free breadcrumbs and flour.
- Air Fryer Version: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
Tips
- Freezing is key—it prevents cheese from melting too fast while frying.
- Double coating helps create a crispy, golden crust.
- Use a deep-fry thermometer to keep oil at the right temperature.
- For extra crunch, mix panko breadcrumbs with regular breadcrumbs.
