My husband tasted it once and instantly asked for the recipe!

Cheesy Baked Onion Delights

These crispy, cheesy onion bites make the perfect appetizer — tender onion rings stuffed with gooey mozzarella, coated in a seasoned breadcrumb crust, and baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity Large onions, sliced into ½-inch rings 2 Mozzarella cheese, cut into sticks 8 oz All-purpose flour 1 cup Eggs, beaten 2 Breadcrumbs 1 cup Garlic powder 1 tsp Paprika 1 tsp Salt and pepper To taste Cooking spray As needed

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray.

Step 2: Fill the Rings Gently separate the onion slices into rings. Place a mozzarella stick piece inside each ring, pressing gently so it fits snugly.

Step 3: Create the Breading Station Set up three shallow bowls: One with flour. One with beaten eggs. One with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 4: Coat the Rings Dip each stuffed onion ring first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure they’re well coated on all sides.

Step 5: Arrange and Spray Place the breaded onion rings on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to help them crisp up while baking.
