Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese Choose high-quality for richer flavor.
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • to taste Salt and pepper
For the Wrapping
  • 1 package wonton wrappers (about 48 pieces)
For the Breading
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (Italian-style works best) Add garlic powder or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • as needed Olive oil for frying (or cooking spray for a healthier option)
For the Marinara Sauce
  • 1 jar marinara sauce Homemade is also a great option.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Spoon about a teaspoon of the cheesy filling onto the center of each wonton wrapper. Be careful not to overfill.
  3. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water to help seal them. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally, pressing out any air and sealing the edges tightly.
  4. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs.
  5. Dredge each filled ravioli in flour, dip in eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Once hot, add the breaded ravioli bites in batches, frying until golden brown on each side (about 2-3 minutes per side).
  3. Drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  4. While the bites are frying, warm your marinara sauce on the stove or in the microwave.
  5. Serve the toasted ravioli bites hot with the marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

Leftover bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to keep them crispy. They can also be frozen before frying.
