Lasagna Bites

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Lasagna

    Boil the lasagna sheets in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheese Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix well until smooth.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Lasagna Bites

    Lay one lasagna sheet flat and spread a layer of the cheese mixture on top. Place another lasagna sheet over it and press down gently. Repeat this process to create layers, using 2-3 sheets per bite. Cut into bite-sized squares.

Breading and Frying

  1. 4

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs (2 eggs), and one with breadcrumbs.

  2. 5

    Bread the Lasagna Bites

    Take each lasagna square, coat it in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then coat it with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is well-coated.

  3. 6

    Fry the Lasagna Bites

    In a deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded lasagna bites in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve with Marinara Sauce

    Plate the fried lasagna bites and serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy with a dollop of ricotta on the side.
