Thick onion rings stacked with cheddar, wrapped in flour-dusted bacon and baked on a rack at 180°C for 15 minutes until golden and crispy. Four ingredients, ready in 25 minutes — a crunchy, cheesy bite with no bun.
Instructions
- 1
Slice onions into thick rounds. Cut cheese slices into circles the same size as the onion rounds. Stack cheese onto the onion rings.
- 2
Lightly coat bacon slices with flour — this helps everything hold together and gives crispier texture. Wrap each stacked onion-cheese round snugly with a strip of floured bacon.
- 3
Arrange on a rack over a baking tray. Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 15 minutes until the bacon is perfectly crispy and golden.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why dust the bacon with flour?
A light coating of flour helps the bacon grip the onion-and-cheese stack and crisps it up instead of going floppy, so the parcels hold their shape and stay crunchy when you bite in.
Why bake on a rack instead of straight on the tray?
A rack lets the bacon fat drip away and hot air circulate underneath, so the bacon crisps evenly all the way around rather than sitting and steaming in its own grease.
Can I cook these in an air fryer?
Yes. Air-fry at 180°C for about 12–15 minutes, seam-side down first, until the bacon is golden and crisp. Secure each parcel with a toothpick if the cheese tries to escape.
