Description

Toasted Ravioli is a crispy, golden appetizer featuring cheese-filled ravioli breaded and baked to perfection.

Served warm with marinara sauce and optionally garnished with fresh basil or parsley, it’s a delicious twist on traditional ravioli perfect for parties or a tasty snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Wash

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Breading

  • 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)

Main Ingredient

  • 1 pound cheese ravioli (thawed if frozen)

Additional

  • Cooking spray
  • Fresh basil or parsley (for garnish, optional)
  • Marinara sauce (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet to ensure air circulation and prevent sogginess.
  2. Prepare Coatings: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk to make the egg wash. In another bowl, combine the Italian seasoned breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and black pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste.
  3. Coat Ravioli: Dip each cheese ravioli into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture until evenly covered for a crispy crust.
  4. Freeze: Arrange the breaded ravioli on the baking sheet and freeze for about 20 minutes. This step helps the breading adhere better and enhances crispiness when baked.
  5. Bake: Lightly spray the breaded ravioli with cooking spray to encourage browning. Place the baking sheet with the wire rack in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the ravioli are golden brown and crisp.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the toasted ravioli from the oven. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh basil or parsley for a fresh touch. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Freezing before baking is optional but highly recommended for extra crispiness.
  • Use thawed ravioli if using frozen to ensure even cooking.
  • For variation, try different flavored breadcrumbs or cheeses inside the ravioli.
  • Make sure to spray cooking spray evenly for the best golden color and crunch.
  • Serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
