Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything required to make this cheesy masterpiece. Most are pantry staples, so you might already have them on hand!

For the Onion Rings:

  • 2 large white onions – Mild and slightly sweet, ideal for frying and stuffing.
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded – The star of the show, offering that gooey, melty pull.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour – For the base layer of breading.
  • 2 eggs – Helps bind the breading to the onion rings.
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs – Choose panko for extra crunch or regular for a finer texture.
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese – Adds salty, umami-rich flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced – Infuses flavor into the crust.
  • 1/4 cup butter – Used for pan-frying and flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Set the stage for cheesy magic by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or give it a light coating of oil to prevent sticking.

🔥 Pro Tip: Preheating ensures the cheese melts evenly while the coating stays crispy—not soggy.
