4 lg. onions
1 1/2 c. fine dry bread crumbs (half whole wheat preferred)
1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
3 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 egg (because its used as a binder - no substitute)
1 tbsp. water

Slice each onion about 1/4 inch thick and separate into rings. Soak the rings in cold, salted water for 30 minutes. Drain and dry on paper towels. Combine bread crumbs, poultry seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. In separate bowl, mix egg and water; beat well. Dip rings in bread crumb mixture, then in egg mixture, then in crumb mixture. Salt lightly, if desired. Arrange rings on greased jelly roll pan with foil and bake in hot oven (400 degrees) for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake 20 minutes longer or until crispy. Serve immediately.
