Ingredients:

2 large white/yellow onions

3-4 slices Mozzarella cheese

2 cups AP flour

5 eggs

2 cups bread crumbs

Oil for frying

Marinara Sauce

Directions/Instructions:

1. Peel & cut onions into 1cm rings, separate the rings.
2. Slice the mozzarella into 4 even strips & place a smaller onion ring in the center of a large one.  Fill the gap between the rings with strips of mozzarella.  Repeat with remaining onion rings & freeze them for an hour.
3. Place the flour, eggs & bread crumbs into three (3) separate bowls.  Dip each prepared ring into the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs, then back into the egg & one last time into the breadcrumbs.  Repeat with the remaining onion rings.
4. Heat the oil in a pot over high heat (170-180 deg C).  Fry the rings until golden brown & crispy.  Careful not to fry them for too long as the cheese may ooze out completely.
