Main Ingredients
- 12 round frozen ravioli (thawed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tbsp milk
- 6 Tbsp Italian bread crumbs
- 2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the ravioli to a crispy golden finish.
- Prepare Dipping Mixtures: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined. In a separate bowl or pie plate, mix together the Italian bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese.
- Coat Ravioli: Dip each thawed ravioli first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then immediately dredge it in the breadcrumb and parmesan mixture. Arrange the coated ravioli on a baking sheet. Repeat this process until all ravioli are coated.
- Apply Cooking Spray: Lightly spray the coated ravioli on the baking sheet with cooking spray to help achieve a golden and crispy exterior while baking.
- Bake Ravioli: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the ravioli are crispy and golden brown on the outside.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the toasted ravioli warm with marinara or pesto sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can use any variety of ravioli such as cheese or meat-filled depending on your preference.
- Ensure ravioli are thawed before coating to allow the egg and breading to adhere properly.
- Cooking spray helps to crisp the breadcrumbs without using excess oil.
- For extra crispiness, flip the ravioli halfway through baking.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
