Ingredients

• 1 large onion
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• Oil for frying

Instructions

1. Peel the onion and cut it into slices about 1/2 inch thick. Separate the slices into rings.
2. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk together.
4. Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the bread crumbs. Press the bread crumbs onto the onion rings to make sure they stick.
5. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the onion rings in small batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
6. While still warm, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the onion rings and place them on a baking sheet. Place in a preheated 350°F oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
7. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
