Toasted ravioli, St. Louis-style! This method of breading and frying ravioli is unique and delicious. The crisp, golden brown ravioli are dusted with Parmesan cheese and served with marinara sauce for dipping.

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) jar marinara sauce
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• ¾ cup italian seasoned bread crumbs
• ½ teaspoon salt (optional)
• ½ (25 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli, thawed
• 3 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
• 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Heat marinara sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling; reduce the heat to low and simmer until needed.
3. Meanwhile, whisk egg and milk together in a small bowl. Whisk bread crumbs and salt together in a second small bowl.
4. Dip each ravioli in milk mixture, then in bread crumbs to coat.
5. Heat 2 inches oil in a large, heavy pan until a small amount of breading sizzles and turns brown. Fry ravioli, a few at a time, until golden, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels.
6. Sprinkle warm ravioli with Parmesan and serve immediately with hot marinara sauce on the side.
