My sister makes this delicious appetizer for many of our parties and family get togethers. They may be made ahead of time and warmed up on a pizza tray just before serving. Serve with tomato sauce for dipping. Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated or fresh 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 |
Directions:
1. Cook tortellini according to package directions. Rinse under cool water, and allow to cool slightly.
2. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine bread crumbs, cornflake crumbs, salt, pepper, and parsley.
3. Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep skillet over medium heat. In small batches, dip the tortellini in egg, and place in resealable bag. Shake to coat, and set aside on a plate until the oil is hot.
4. In batches, deep fry breaded tortellini until golden brown. Serve with tomato sauce for dipping.
