Breaded Toasted Ravioli
This dish combines the comforting goodness of ravioli with a crispy, golden breading. Perfect as an appetizer or a main course, these toasted ravioli are sure to impress your family and friends.
Ingredients
- 1 package of refrigerated or frozen ravioli (cheese or meat-filled)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably seasoned)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil (for frying)
- Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: If using frozen ravioli, thaw them first. Set up a breading station by placing the flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third.
- Season the Flour: Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the flour to enhance the flavor of the ravioli.
- Bread the Ravioli: Take a piece of ravioli, dredge it in flour, dip it in the eggs to coat, and then finally coat it in the breadcrumbs. Ensure it’s fully covered for that perfect crunch!
- Heat the Oil: In a large pan, heat about half an inch of cooking oil over medium heat. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a breadcrumb into it; if it sizzles, it’s good to go!
- Fry the Ravioli: Carefully place the breaded ravioli into the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Drain: Once cooked, remove the ravioli from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve: Arrange the toasted ravioli on a platter and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness!
