Crunchy Oven Fried Cheese Ravioli

Crunchy Oven Fried Cheese Ravioli

These are a great appetizer for an Italian night.  They are easy and delicious!  And healthier than the fried version!

Ingredients:
1 lb cheese ravioli
3 egg whites, slightly beaten
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 3/4 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
pinch of salt and pepper
marinara sauce for dipping

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450*F.  Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.  Spray the rack with nonstick spray.  Place egg whites in one bowl and in another bowl, combine flour, bread crumbs, panko, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.  Bring water to a boil and cook ravioli for half of the recommended time.  Drain them and quickly spray with cooking spray to help them not stick together.  Once cool to the touch, dip each ravioli in egg whites, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.  Place on the wire rack and repeat until finished.  Spray each quickly with cooking spray.  Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until crispy and golden.  Serve hot with marinara for dipping.
