  • 1 large yellow onion peeled, cut into 1/2-inch slices, and separated into rings
  • All-purpose flour for coating
  • Kosher or sea salt
  • Olive oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs.

  • Place the coated rings on a platter and let them rest for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Heat at least 1/2 inch of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, or use a deep fryer set at 365°F, until a cube of bread turns light brown in 60 seconds.
  • Carefully place the coated onion rings in the hot oil, ensuring they are in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding).
