- Working one at a time, remove the ravioli from the milk and let the excess liquid drip off. Place in the bread crumbs and turn to coat, pressing the crumbs into the ravioli.
- Set aside onto a plate. If using fresh ravioli, place in the freezer for 30 minutes. If using frozen ravioli, proceed with your preferred cooking method below.
Frying the Toasted Ravioli
- Fill a deep-sided pan with 2 inches of oil. Heat to 350 degrees. Use an oil thermometer to monitor temperature. Working in batches, fry a few at a time for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan, if desired.
Turn your oven to the "warm" setting or 175 degrees. Transfer ravioli onto a baking sheet and place it into the oven while you cook the remaining batches of ravioli.
Air Fryer Toasted Ravioli
- Preheat air fryer to 380 degrees. Spray the air fryer pan with nonstick spray. Place the ravioli in a single layer and spray with cooking spray. Cook for 3 minutes. Turn over and spray the other side. Cook an additional 3 minutes.
Oven-Baked Toasted Ravioli
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with oil. Lay ravioli in a single layer on baking sheet, with a little bit of space between each piece. Spray top with cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn over and spray with additional spray. Cook an additional 5-10 minutes, or until browned.
Notes
To freeze: Make the recipe all the way through to frying, then lay the toasted ravioli in a single layer on a cutting board or baking sheet and place in the freezer for 2 hours. Then place in a zip-top freezer bag. The ravioli will keep in your freezer for 3 months.
Frozen ravioli can be reheated straight from the freezer. Place on a baking sheet and cook in a 350-degree oven for 10-15 minutes.
