Preparation
- Cook the refrigerated three cheese tortellini according to the package instructions, typically boiling for about 3-5 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Set up a breading station by placing all-purpose flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and Panko breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese in a third bowl.
- Take each cooked tortellini and dredge it in the flour, ensuring it’s lightly coated. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs before coating it with the breadcrumb mixture.
- In a deep pan, heat canola oil over medium heat until shimmering, about 350°F.
- Carefully fry the breaded tortellini in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until they’re beautifully golden and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the tortellini from the oil and drain them on paper towels to catch any excess oil.
- Serve the Parmesan Crusted Tortellini Bites hot, alongside a small bowl of marinara sauce for delicious dipping.

Notes
To ensure your bites come out perfectly, cool the tortellini completely before breading. For added crunch, consider double breading them.
