Don’t miss my other favorite appetizers, like cheesy Bean Dip, Potato Skins and taquitos. Talk about EASY and FUN for any occasion, these Toasted Ravioli (or “fried ravioli”) are a great appetizer for any occasion. The idea and recipe for Toasted Ravioli originated in Saint Louis, which will always have a special place in my heart (three of my kids were born there)! If you’re from that area, be sure to check out my Gooey Butter Cake recipe!
How to make Toasted Ravioli:
If the ravioli are not frozen, freeze for 1 hour before preparing recipe.Combine milk and eggs in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Place breadcrumbs, salt and parmesan cheese in a large ziplock bag and shake to combine.Dip frozen raviolis in egg mixture, then add to bag with breadcrumbs. Shake to coat.In a heavy pot pour oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat over medium heat until oil is hot. Test it by adding a small sprinkle of bread crumbs to the oil and if they sizzle and turn golden, its ready.Fry raviolis, only a few at a time, for about 1 minute on each side, until golden. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with fresh grated parmesan cheese and serve warm, dipped in marinara sauce.
