Description

🍝 Enjoy the indulgence of a five-cheese filling in a crispy, golden wrap that’s made healthier with air frying.
🍤 Perfectly paired with steak and shrimp, this Air Fryer Lasagna Fritta makes a satisfying surf and turf dish.


Ingredients

Scale

8 sheets lasagna noodles

8 oz ricotta cheese

8 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded

Parmesan cheese, grated

Romano cheese, grated

Asiago cheese, grated

1 cup all-purpose flour for dredging and coating

3 large eggs, beaten

2 cups panko breadcrumbs

Olive oil spray


Instructions

1-First Step: Cook and prepare noodles Boil lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them out flat to cool, preparing them for rolling with cheese filling.

2-Second Step: Mix cheese filling In a bowl, combine ricotta, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, Romano, and asiago cheeses. Mix thoroughly to create a rich, creamy filling ready to be spread.

3-Third Step: Assemble the lasagna fritta rolls Spread a generous layer of the five-cheese mixture evenly over each cooled lasagna noodle. Roll each noodle carefully from one end to the other, shaping into tight, uniform rolls.

4-Fourth Step: Bread the rolls Set out three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each roll first in flour, then dip into beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. This three-step breading ensures a crispy, sealed crust to prevent filling leaks.

5-Fifth Step: Freeze before air frying Place the breaded lasagna rolls on a baking tray and freeze for at least one hour. Freezing helps maintain shape and prevents cheese filling from leaking during cooking.

6-Sixth Step: Air fry the lasagna fritta Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and lightly spray the basket with olive oil spray. Arrange frozen lasagna fritta in a single layer without crowding. Air fry for 10 minutes, then flip, spray lightly again, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until golden and crispy.

7-Final Step: Cool and Serve Allow the lasagna fritta to rest for a couple of minutes after air frying. Serve warm with dipping sauces like marinara or Alfredo sauce for a delicious appetizer or snack perfect for gatherings or family meals.

Notes

🧀 Ensure thorough coverage with flour, egg, and breadcrumbs to prevent cheese leakage during cooking.
❄️ Freezing the rolls before air frying helps them maintain shape and firm up the cheese filling.
🔥 Maintain consistent air fryer temperature for an even, golden crust.
