Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Onion Rings

By CJKK

Ingredients

• 2/3 medium white onions
• 2 cups cream cheese
• 2 cups grated cheddar
• 1 cup cooked bacon strips
• 3 jalapenos, finely diced
• 1 pinch garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp black pepper
• 2 cups plain flour
• 4 eggs, beaten with a little milk
• 2 cups seasoned panko breadcrumbs

Preparation

Step 1

Peel the outer skin off the onions and trim both ends. Cut into 3/4 rings and separate into chunks.
In a large bowl mix together the cream cheese, cheddar, bacon strips, jalapenos, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Lay the onion rings on a lined baking sheet and spoon the jalapenos popper mix into them, smoothing it down with a spoon. Pop them in the freezer for around 2 to 3 hours until they feel solid to the touch.
Heat the oil until it reaches 170°C/340°F.
Take them out and cover them completely in flour, then egg (shaking off excess) then finally the seasoned breadcrumbs.
Fry them in batches of three for around 3 - 4 minutes until crispy and cooked through.
