Hello everyone and welcome to another Yummy Recipe Wednesday. The days just keep flying by but the weather is turning super nice so hopefully I’ll have some barbecue posts/pics in the near future. Today I bring you a super simple recipe for some delicious Deep Fried Tortellini, which I had actually never tried before but I’m glad I did. They’re very similar to toasted ravioli but unique in a (good) way that’s really hard to describe. You’ll just have to try them yourself and you’ll see what I mean. You could use ravioli in this recipe instead of the tortellini but I think the tortellini makes a better appetizer and it’s easier to use toothpicks in these for people to pick them up with. I also think that next time I make these I will add a little Parmesan cheese to the breading mixture. Give these a try and if you have any suggestions on changes please feel free to comment below. Have a great week everyone and be sure to get out and enjoy the wonderful weather.
Deep Fried Tortellini
- 1 (16 oz) pkg Cheese Tortellini
- 1/4 cup Bread Crumbs
- 1/4 cup Cornflake Crumbs
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- Dried Parsley, to taste
- Oil for deep frying
- 2 Eggs, lightly beaten
1. Cook tortellini according to package directions; rinse them under cool water to allow them to cool slightly.
2. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the bread crumbs, cornflake crumbs, salt, pepper, and parsley.
3. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or deep skillet over medium heat.
4. In small batches, dip the tortellini in the lightly beaten egg and then place them in the resealable bag; shake the bag to coat the tortellini and then set them aside on a plate until the oil is hot.
5. In small batches, deep fry the breaded tortellini until golden brown; transfer to a paper towel to drain and then serve hot with tomato sauce, ranch dressing, or hot sauce for dipping.
