DEEP FRIED LASAGNA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet.
• Cut the chilled lasagna into 12 equal pieces, then cut the pieces into 4 triangles, for a total of 48 pieces. Set the triangles on the wire rack and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 4 hours, until solid.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot fitted with a deep fry thermometer over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Add the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs to 3 separate shallow bowls.
• Remove the lasagna triangles from the freezer and dredge in the flour, then the eggs, then the bread crumbs.
• Working in batches, fry the lasagna triangles in the hot oil for approximately 1 minute, until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain and let cool for about 10 minutes.
• Serve the lasagna bites warm with marinara sauce alongside.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Remove lasagna from packaging and set out to thaw for 30 minutes-1 hour before preparing. The lasagna does not need to thaw completely but it does need to thaw a bit so that a knife can cut through it.
• Cut lasagna into 6 or more equal pieces and set aside. Smaller pieces will cook more quickly and are great for appetizers. We cut dinner size portions - each frozen lasagna will make about 6 large portions.
• Begin heating the cooking oil in a heavy stock pot or Dutch oven. Heat the oil to 350°F. Clip a candy thermometer onto the side of the pan so that you can maintain an even cooking temperature.
• While the oil is heating, prepare a dredging station. Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a second shallow bowl. Combine breadcrumbs and the grated cheese in a third bowl.
• Working with one piece of lasagna at a time, dip the lasagna square into the flour mixture, coating on each side. Move the piece into the milk/egg mixture and dip on each side, ensuring that all sides are wet. Finally, place the lasagna into the breadcrumbs, again coating on each side.
• Set the battered lasagna pieces on a sheet pan.
• When the oil is heated, add the lasagna, one or two at a time and fry until deep golden brown on all sides.
• Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and set them on paper towels or brown paper bags to soak up the excess oil.
• Serve lasagna hot with freshly grated parmesan cheese, marinara dipping sauce, and/or a sprinkle of parsley.

FRIED LASAGNA

Steps:

• Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions for al dente. In a large bowl, combine ricotta, 1-1/4 cups Italian cheese blend, mozzarella, 2 eggs and 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning. Drain noodles. If desired, cut off ribboned edges (discard or save for another use). Spread about 1/4 cup filling on each noodle. Starting with a short side, fold each in thirds. Place all on a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down. Freeze just until firm, about 1 hour., In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375°. In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs, 2/3 cup Italian cheese blend and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Place remaining 4 eggs in separate shallow bowl. Dip lasagna bundles into eggs, then into crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere., Fry bundles in batches until golden brown, 8-10 minutes, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Serve with marinara, Alfredo, the remaining Italian cheese blend and, if desired, additional Italian seasoning.
