  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook tortellini according to package instructions; drain well.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
  3. In a large bowl, combine Panko and Parmesan; set aside.
  4. Working in batches, dredge tortellini in flour, dip into eggs, then dredge in Panko mixture, pressing to coat.
