What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Country Casual Cravings: Toasted Cheese Ravioli! Crunchy on the outside, creamy on the inside. Take a walk on the wild side by turning dumpling-style pasta dough into a flavorful, tart, and cheesy appetizer. Panko breadcrumbs provide a crunchier coating that taste more like a fried shell when baked. This is due to the fact that panko breadcrumbs are made from crustless bread, thereby making them have an airier texture. The results are amazing.
TOASTED CHEESE RAVIOLI
Ingredients:
8-ounces fresh cheese ravioli, found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 cup plain panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Marinara sauce, for dipping
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a wire rack with nonstick oil. Place rack on a baking sheet. Set aside. In a shallow dish, whisk together egg and milk until fully incorporated. In another shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Mix well. Working one at a time, dip ravioli in egg mixture. Allow excess to drip off before generously coating both sides with breadcrumb mixture. Place ravioli on prepared wired rack. Leave spaces between ravioli to allow even browning. Spray tops of ravioli with nonstick oil. Bake 10 minutes until ravioli is golden brown. Turn ravioli over and bake 10 minutes longer. Serve immediately with marinara sauce for dipping.

You’re welcome, Rachel. Yesterday my neighbor called me a gourmet chef. Now I don’t know about that. I did tell her I do know how to take snapshots of food that make them appear gourmet. 🤣🍃😋

I bought the grocery store variety recently and it didn’t do much for me so I guess it’s time to take matters into my own hands, huh?
