Serve warm with dipping sauces such as marinara, ranch, or spicy ketchup.
These are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven for best results.
Variations:
Try adding seasonings to the bread crumbs, such as garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning, for extra flavor.
Use a different type of cheese, like cheddar or pepper jack, for a different twist.
FAQ:
Q: Can I bake these instead of frying?
A: Yes! Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the breaded onion rings and mozzarella strips on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Q: Can I use a different type of cheese?
A: Absolutely! Cheddar, pepper jack, or provolone would work well as a substitute for mozzarella.
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: You can prepare the onion rings and mozzarella strips, bread them, and then freeze them. Fry them straight from the freezer when you’re ready to cook!
