Instructions

1. Cut the Vidalia Onion into 1 inch thick rings and carefully separate.
2. Gently pull apart the onion rings, leaving a small section connected to form a pocket.
3. In a small bowl, combine the Pizza Filling ingredients and mix gently to combine.
4. Stuff each onion ring with approximately 2 tablespoons of the Pizza Filling.

6. Slowly whisk in the chilled Champagne and Egg Yolk until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Heat the Grapeseed Oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
8. Dip each stuffed onion ring into the Batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
9. Carefully lower the battered onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
10. Fry for 3-5 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and crispy.
11. Remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain.
12. Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze and sprinkle with Fresh Thyme before serving immediately.
