Ingredients
1 large white onion
1 1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 1/2 cups Progresso™ panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Heat 3 inches of oil over medium high heat to 375ºF.
While the oil is heating, cut the root and tip off the onion and discard. Slice the onion into 1/4 inch thick slices and separate the rings.
Add the flour and salt to a shallow dish and coat each onion ring in the flour. Shake off and set aside.
Once all the onions are coated in flour, beat together the milk and egg and stir into the flour. Whisk until smooth.
