Description

Deliciously cheesy tortellini bites coated in a crispy Parmesan breading, perfect as an appetizer or snack.


Ingredients

  • Tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Bread crumbs
  • Eggs
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic powder
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cook the tortellini according to package instructions; drain and let them cool.
  3. Beat the eggs in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Dip each tortellini into the egg, then roll them in the bread crumb mixture until fully coated.
  5. Arrange the coated tortellini on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Drizzle olive oil over the tortellini.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

For the crispiest bites, ensure to drain the tortellini well after cooking. Consider using panko bread crumbs for extra crunch. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
