Categories     Appetizers

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 medium sweet onions, peeled
1 ½ cups milk
2 eggs
1 ½ cups flour
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
canola oil, for frying
marinara sauce, for serving
2 slices mozzarella

Steps:

  • Cut just the top off an onion and place it cut-side down.
  • Using a sharp knife, go around the root of the onion and make 4 evenly spaced cuts, being careful not to cut all the way through. Go back around and make 2 additional cuts between each quarter.
  • Flip the onion over and coax apart its layers (or "petals").
  • Place 2 slices of mozzarella cheese on top of each other, cut them into ½-inch (1 cm) slices, then cut them in half.
  • Place a piece of cheese in between all of the onion petals.
  • Freeze the onion for 1 hour.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and the eggs.
  • In large bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  • Place the onion in the wet mixture, turning it until every petal is coated.
  • Place the onion in the dry mixture, coating every petal.
  • Coat the onion in the egg wash and dry mixture one more time.
  • Place onion in the freezer for 20 minutes.
  • Heat canola oil to 375ºF (190ºC) in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven.
  • With tongs, add the onion to the oil for 2 minutes or until it is browned and crispy on all sides.
  • Move onion to plate covered in paper towels and allow to drain for 5 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
