Toasty Ravioli

These are just fried ravioli, great as an appetizer or a quick meal component. They got named by my 6 year old son though, so we call them toasty around here. Serve them with marinara sauce (either store bought or homemade) on the side.

Ingredient

1 box

or bag of store bought, frozen ravioli (about 24 or so)

large egg

1/4 cup

milk

1 1/2 cup

breadcrumbs

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Place enough oil in your pot to reach about 1 inch deep and warm it over medium heat.

* Step 2

While the oil is heating, set up your dredging station. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. In a separate medium bowl or in a gallon sized Ziploc bag, place the breadcrumbs.

* Step 3

First, coat the ravioli in the egg and milk mixture. Allow any excess to drip off. Then dredge them in the breadcrumbs. Once breaded, place them on a plate and set aside. Repeat this process until all are breaded.

* Step 4

If you don't want to cook them all at once, you can place the uncooked, breaded ravioli back into the freezer and store for up to 3 months. We like to do this to have some on hand for quick preparation.

* Step 5

Once the oil is hot enough (about 325°F) add the raviolis a few at a time to the oil. Don't overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3 or so minutes, flipping over halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

* Step 6

Remove the finished ravioli with a slotted metal spoon to a paper towel lined plate to drain the excess oil. Repeat this process until all are cooked.
