Crispy, golden-fried ravioli (also known as toasted ravioli) makes an easy and delicious appetizer.
Served best with marinara sauce from our sauces section.
Ingredients
- 20 ounces cheese and meat ravioli (refrigerated or thawed)
- 2 eggs (large)
- 1⁄3 cup Milk
- 1⁄2 cup flour
- 2 cups italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoon parsley (chopped)
- vegetable oil
- marinara sauce
Instructions
Set Up the Breading Station
- Place the flour in a shallow bowl (if using).
- Whisk together the eggs and milk in a second shallow bowl.
- Mix the Italian breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese in a third shallow bowl.
Bread the Ravioli
- Take each ravioli and dip it first in the flour (shaking off any excess).
- Dip it thoroughly into the egg-and-milk wash.
- Roll it in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, pressing gently so the crumbs stick completely, and set them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Heat the Oil:
- Pour 2 to 3 inches of oil into a deep pot, heavy-bottomed skillet, or cast-iron pan.
- Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry:
- Working in small batches of 6 to 8 so you don't overcrowd the pan, gently drop the ravioli into the hot oil.
- Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, turning halfway through, until deep golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve:
- Remove with a slotted spoon or spider and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
- Sprinkle immediately with extra grated Parmesan and fresh parsley.
- Serve warm with warm marinara sauce sauce for dipping.
