O-Rings – Breaded, Stuffed
A unique variation on the usual appetizer. Crispy, Crunchy, Cheese-filled Onion Rings are our newest favorite. Difficulty: Easy
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- 3 Small Bowls Lg.
INGREDIENTS…
- 2 Lg. Onions - Vedalia are best
- 8 oz. Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
- 1 cup AP Flour
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp. Paprika
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Cooking Spray
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the Onions into 1/2″ slices and separate into rings. Set aside.
- Slice the Mozzarella Sticks, lengthwise, into 1/8" thick ribbons and place one inside a large Onion Ring, coiling it around. Trim the ribbon to length so that the ends meet. Use two ribbons inside each other if desired. Then place a Smaller Onion Ring inside the cheese ring. Continue until all the Onion Rings are filled with Cheese.
- Set up three bowls: one each for the Flour, the Beaten Eggs, and the Panko Breadcrumbs mixed with Garlic Powder, Paprika, Salt, and Pepper.
- Dip each stuffed Onion Ring into the Flour, making sure it’s well-coated. Then, dip into the Eggs, and finally coat it with the Breadcrumb Mixture.
- Place the Rings on the parchment paper and lightly spray with Cooking Spray for crispy rings.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown & crisp.
- Allow the Onion Rings to cool a bit before serving.
Notes
Provolone or Pepper Jack Cheese would be delicious alternatives.
