🍝 Crispy Parmesan Lasagna Fritta 🧀

An absolute showstopper of an appetizer that transforms a classic comfort food into the ultimate finger food! Layers of rich bolognese meat sauce, velvety ricotta, and gooey mozzarella are frozen, cut into uniform squares, coated in an extra-crunchy herbed Panko crust, and fried until the outside is golden-brown and the inside is beautifully molten. 😋✨
