Baked Ravioli Appetizer

November 25, 2015 by Barbara Leave a Comment

These baked ravioli appetizers are a wonderful way to satisfy your guests appetites before the big meal this holiday season.

Preparing this baked ravioli appetizer is a great way to feed your Thamksgiving guests in the run-up to the big meal.

Ok, so I’ve never actually seen baked ravioli appetizer in Italy. But since the main ingredient in this dish  is ravioli, I’m going to run with it. Start off by purchasing a 9-ounce package of your favorite refrigerated cheese ravioli. In my case, this product is Buitoni.  I counted these little critters and my package held 43 ravioli, so you can serves these to about 10 or 12 guests.

These soft little pillows filled with delicate cheese can be breaded and dipped then baked then dunked in your favorite marinara sauce.

Combine the breadcrumbs and the Parmesan cheese in a bowl. I use panko crumbs but you can use any kind you like including the ones that contain Italian herb seasoning. If using crumbs with no herb seasoning, sprinkle a quarter teaspoon of dried oregano and basil into the mix.

Combine the sour cream and the milk and stir until the sour cream lumps are vanquished. Dip a ravioli into the sour cream mixture then into the breadcrumbs. Shake off the excess crumbs and place the ravioli on either a non-stick baling sheet or one lined with parchment paper.

These baked ravioli appetizers only take about 15 minutes in the oven before they appear golden and ready to serve.

Bake the ravioli at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes, or more if you watch them, until they are slightly golden on top. Don’t let them burn on the bottom. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.  Offer your guests a cup of your favorite marinara sauce for dunking and watch your baked ravioli appetizers disappear in minutes.

Dunk your baked ravioli appetizers in a delicious marinara sauce and enjoy how delicious they are!
