Slice the cheese into small slices approximately ½ inch thick and set them aside.
2-3 slices mozzarella cheese
Peel off the onion first and chop off both ends of the onion. Then slice the onions ½ inch thick.
2 large onions
Separate, each onion rings out.
Arrange the onion rings according to the width difference so that we can fit in the cheese slices.
Now just place the cheese slices into the gaps. Continue the process for all the onions.
Take a bowl to transfer the flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper mix, and set it aside.
salt and pepper to taste, ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
Take another bowl beat the eggs and set it aside, the final bowl for the breadcrumbs.
2 eggs, 1 cup bread crumbs
Now take one onion ring at a time, roll it into the flour, tap out the excess, dip it into the egg batter, and straight into the bread crumbs. Repeat the process twice and try to make a thick coat so that cheese won’t leak while air frying.
Preheat your air fryer at 180C/355F for 2-3 minutes.
Spray/brush a thin layer of oil in the air fryer basket, transfer the coated onion rings into the basket. And spray/brush the oil over the onion rings.
3-4 tablespoons oil
Cook them for 15 minutes at 180C/355F and flip them halfway through the cooking process.
Remove the crispy air fryer onion rings and serve them with your favorite dipping sauce.
