Makes 9 12
Recipe by Alvin Zhou for BuzzFeed Tasty
INGREDIENTS
2 large white onions
3 4 slices mozzarella cheese
2 cups flour
5 eggs
2 cups bread crumbs
Oil, for frying
Marinara sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
Peel and cut onions into 1-centimeter rings, then separate the rings.
Slice the mozzarella into 4 even strips, and place a smaller onion ring in the c
enter of a larger one.
Fill the gap between the rings with strips of mozzarella. Repeat with remaining
onion rings and freeze
them for 1 hour.
Place the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs into three separate bowls. Dip each prep
ared ring into the flour,
then the egg, then the breadcrumbs, then back into the egg, and one last time in
to the bread crumbs.
Repeat with the remaining onion rings.
Heat the oil in a pot over high heat. Fry the rings until golden brown, being ca
reful not to fry them for
too long as the cheese may ooze out completely.
Drain on a paper towel, then serve with marinara!
