- If you like, you can pack the cheese mixture high above the ring for extra cheesiness!
- Repeat the stuffing process with the remaining large onion rings.
4. Batter and Coat the Onion Rings
- In one bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg.
- In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs for coating.
- Dip each stuffed onion ring into the flour mixture, followed by the egg wash, and finally coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs. Make sure the cheese-filled portion is well-covered!
