Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 classic lasagna, chilled overnight
6 cups vegetable oil, for frying
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 large eggs, beaten
2 cups italian breadcrumbs
1 cup marinara sauce, warmed, for sering

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!
