How to make Crispy Cheese Onion Snack
-
Cut the onion
After purchasing, peel the onion and slice it horizontally into pieces about 1cm thick, removing both ends, then use your hands to separate the round rings, only using the rings and discarding the core.
Soak the onion in salt water for about 3 minutes, then remove it.
Note: Soaking in salt water will help the onion maintain its whiteness while reducing the pungent smell of the onion.
-
Cut the cheese
Remove the cheese and cut it into thin slices for easy eating.
-
Stuff the cheese with the onion
Place the small onion rings inside the larger rings, then add the cheese in between the two rings.
Note: Ensure the cheese is tightly enclosed by the onion rings so that it does not fall out during frying.
Dip in batter and fry
Take the onion stuffed with cheese, roll it in a layer of flour, then roll it in a layer of egg, followed by another layer of flour and egg, and finally roll it in breadcrumbs. Do similarly until all the prepared onion is used up.
Prepare a pan, add oil, wait for the oil to heat up, then add the onions and deep-fry until golden brown, then remove and place on absorbent paper.
Finished product
Beautiful fried cheese onion slices with a crispy golden breadcrumb coating. A bite reveals melted cheese stretching enticingly, accompanied by the rich flavor and aroma of the fried onion, creating a wonderful taste.

Slice the onions
After buying the onions, peel them and slice them horizontally into pieces about 0.5 cm thick. Then, use your hands to separate the rings, only using the round rings and discarding the core. Place the sliced onions into a bowl and mix with 300ml of yogurt.
Note: Yogurt will reduce the pungent smell and enhance the flavor of the dish. -
Take the prepared onion and roll it in a layer of flour, then roll it in a layer of egg, followed by another layer of flour and egg, and finally roll it in the prepared breadcrumbs. Do the same until all the prepared onions are used up.
Note: Dip thoroughly to ensure an even coating of breadcrumbs on the onion.
-
Bake the onions
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees for 10 minutes. Arrange the breadcrumb-coated onions on a baking tray and then place them in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 20 – 25 minutes.
Note: You can deep-fry instead of baking; baking will help the snacks not absorb oil and last longer. Baking will also help you reduce the amount of oil in the food. -
Final product
The baked onions have a beautiful golden-brown color. When eaten, they are crispy with a spicy flavor from the chili, garlic, and pepper combined with the fragrant smell of onion, creating an irresistible snack.
A few notes when making onion snacks:
- Onions should be treated before frying by soaking in salt water or mixing with yogurt to reduce the strong smell.
- Instead of deep frying, you can bake them and vice versa. Baking will help the snacks not absorb oil and keep longer.
- To keep the snacks crispy for longer, when frying, you need to dip them in 2 layers of flour and egg, then deep fry over medium heat to achieve the perfect crispiness. Additionally, this method helps reduce oil consumption.
- Don’t rush to pour out the excess oil. Filtered leftover cooking oil has a very good bleaching effect. For any rust stains, just pour this oil in, use aluminum scrubbing pads to gently rub, and it will shine. For light stains, just use a paper towel to wipe over and it will be clean. After cleaning the excess oil, cover it up, store it for later use.
- To help the snacks be preserved for a long time, let them cool completely before placing them in a bag or airtight container for long-term storage.
