St. Louis Toasted Ravioli

Cultural Context

Originating from St. Louis, Missouri, toasted ravioli is a beloved local specialty that reflects the Italian immigrant influence on American cuisine. Traditionally, these ravioli are breaded and deep-fried, providing a crispy exterior that contrasts with the tender pasta and savory filling. Often served as an appetizer, they are typically accompanied by marinara sauce for dipping. Over the years, toasted ravioli has gained popularity beyond St. Louis, becoming a staple at fairs and Italian restaurants across the United States.

In a bowl, add 1 tablespoon of water and crack 1 egg into it.

2

Stir the egg in the water gently without splashing.

3

In a second bowl, combine Italian seasoned breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese, then stir together.

4

Take defrosted cheese ravioli (fresh or frozen) and let them thaw a bit.

5

Dip each ravioli in the egg mixture, then coat it in the breadcrumb and cheese mixture until fully covered.

6

Use one hand for the egg and the other for the breadcrumbs to minimize mess on fingers.

7

Finish coating all the ravioli and place them on a plate.

8

Spray the coated ravioli lightly with vegetable oil for extra crispiness.

9

Place the ravioli in the basket of an air fryer, ensuring they are not stacked on top of each other too much.

10

Cook the ravioli in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 4 to 6 minutes.

11

Check the ravioli after cooking; they should be puffed up and golden brown.
