Fry the Onion Rings:
Heat the Oil: Heat cooking oil in a deep pan or fryer over medium heat. The oil should be deep enough to submerge the onion rings.
Fry Until Golden Brown: Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even frying.
Drain and Serve:
Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
Serve Hot: Serve the mozzarella onion rings hot, and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness!
Tips and Sharing:
Cheese Alternatives: Try using other types of cheese like cheddar or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
Dipping Sauces: Serve the onion rings with a variety of dipping sauces such as marinara, ranch, or spicy aioli for an extra layer of flavor.
Make Ahead: You can assemble the onion rings ahead of time and freeze them before frying. Simply fry them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
Storage: Leftover onion rings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer to maintain their crispiness.
Customization: Add your favorite spices to the bread crumbs for an extra kick. Paprika, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning work well.
