Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 sheets Lasagna Sheets Use regular or whole wheat lasagna sheets.
- 8 ounces Pimento cheese Can substitute with other cheese varieties.
- 6 pieces Mozzarella sticks, halved Standard size mozzarella sticks work best.
- 4 large Eggs, beaten For coating before frying.
- 2 cups Panko crumbs Provides a crispy coating.
- as needed amount Frying oil Vegetable or canola oil recommended.
Cooking Supplies
- 1 can Cooking spray Use to prevent sticking on the lasagna sheets.
Instructions
Preparation
- Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot and cook the lasagna sheets as per the package instructions. Once cooked, separate each noodle and coat with cooking spray.
- Spread a thin layer of pimento cheese onto each noodle and cut each in half lengthwise.
Rolling
- Take half a mozzarella stick and place it at the end of a noodle. Roll the noodle around the cheese stick tightly. Repeat until all are rolled.
- Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet and freeze for about an hour to help them hold their shape.
Frying
- In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs and in another shallow bowl place the panko crumbs.
- Once the rolls are firm from freezing, coat each in the egg mixture then roll in panko crumbs, pressing gently to ensure they are coated.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet to about 350 degrees F. Fry the mozzarella sticks until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Remove cooked sticks from oil and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Serve warm with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. For a healthier option, consider using zucchini slices in place of lasagna sheets.
