    Mozzarella Onion Rings

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe Pin Recipe

    My son and his family just left on Monday after a nice visit. On Saturday we hosted a little gathering of family, including my parents and my granddaughters. We'd had an early dinner, so when granddaughter Mandy pulled up a video of mozzarella onion rings in the evening, we knew we had to have them. Right then.

    If you haven't yet seen the video, these things combine two of our favorite deep-fried foods into one! Sliced onions are paired according to size so that a gap in the middle can be filled with thinly sliced fresh mozzarella cheese. The whole thing is then dipped in flour, beaten egg, and bread crumbs before being deep-fried and served with a side of marinara. Oh my, Mozzarella Onion Rings.

    I am Mary, the blogger behind "Oh That's Good!" I am a former nurse, former hobby farm blogger, former vintage shop owner, and current food blogger. I live with my husband and our little mutt Tucker in a lovely retirement community. I am cooking for two and taking inspiration from old cookbooks, magazines, and memories of watching my mother and grandmother cook. I like reducing my food waste and exorbitant grocery bills! I am busy rewriting my recipes for two servings with the option of adjusting the recipe up to four or six servings with just one click.
