- 2 yellow onions, sliced thin
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. coarse black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 3-4 tsp. fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 cup panko
- 1/2 cup milk, plus 1 tbs. water
- 1 egg
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat a medium-sized cast iron frying pan.
- Place the sliced onions in the heated pan and sprinkle with a teaspoon of sugar and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- Allow the onions to become soft and golden. Remove and let cool slightly before transferring them to a large bowl.
- Add the shredded cheese, flour, salt, pepper, parsley, breadcrumbs, milk, water and egg into the bowl with the cooked onion and mix.
- Heat a large cast iron frying pan with about ¼-inch of vegetable oil and using a teaspoon, spoon the batter into the pan and gently flatten.
- Do NOT overcrowd the pan. Let each fritter cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Place the cooked fritters on a platter lined with paper towels.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. I served mine with sour cream and chives. Enjoy!
