Mozzarella Onion Rings

Ingredients:

• 1 large onion, sliced into rings
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pan to 350°F (180°C).
2. In a bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Dredge each onion ring in flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.
4. Carefully place the coated onion rings into the preheated oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
5. Remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
6. While the onion rings are still hot, sprinkle shredded mozzarella over them, allowing the cheese to melt.
7. Serve the Mozzarella Onion Rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
