Deep Fried Lasagna Bites

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, brown the Ground beef over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
2. Add the Onion and Garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the Crushed tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the Ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, Egg, Salt, and Pepper. Mix well.
5. Assemble the lasagna filling: Layer a spoonful of meat sauce, then a spoonful of ricotta mixture. Repeat.
6. Cut the assembled lasagna into bite-sized squares or rectangles.
7. Prepare the breading station: Place flour in one bowl, beaten Eggs in another, and Panko bread crumbs in a third.
8. Dredge each lasagna bite in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with Panko bread crumbs.
9. Heat Vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
10. Carefully fry the lasagna bites in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
11. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
