### Instructions:
1. Carefully separate the onion slices into individual rings.
2. Insert a mozzarella stick into each onion ring, making sure it’s snug.
3. Set up a breading station: flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper in a third.
4. Dip each stuffed onion ring into the flour, then egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. For extra crispiness, double-dip by repeating the egg and breadcrumb steps.
5. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry onion rings in batches until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
6. In a small pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Toss the fried onion rings in the garlic butter to coat evenly.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
