Toasted Ravioli


My breading assembly line
This past weekend I was inspired to try making “Toasted Ravioli” (also known as “Fried Ravioli”, but toasted just sounds healthier so I’m going with that).  You only need FIVE ingredients to make this delicious appetizer or meal: 
  • Frozen Ravioli – any kind
  • Vegetable or Olive Oil
  • Egg
  • Italian Breadcrumbs
  • Marinara Sauce (for dipping)

I got this huge bag of spinach and cheese ravioli from Giant for less than $3


Heat up some vegetable or olive oil in a pan over medium heat.  Bread the raviolis by dipping them into the egg and then coating with Italian breadcrumbs.  

Coating the ravioli with breadcrumbs

All breaded and ready to fry
Fry four or five raviolis at a time, about one minute per side.  Drain on paper towels.  Serve with a side of your favorite marinara sauce.
Frying on one side
Frying on the other side
The ravioli will be crunchy on the outside and warm and creamy on the inside.  These are so quick and easy to make and perfect to bring to a party or serve as an appetizer.  Hope you try it!

The finished product - toasty goodness
