How to Make Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Onion Rings

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the onions into thick rings and gently separate them.
Mix cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and diced jalapeños in a bowl until well combined.
Stuff the mixture into each onion ring generously.
Set up a breading station with three bowls for flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
Dip each stuffed onion ring first in flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally in breadcrumbs.
Arrange the breaded rings on a lined baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
