Ingredients
4 Eggland's Best large egg yolks
8 gyoza wrappers
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 ounces prosciutto, shredded
1/4 cup ricotta cheese
1-3/4 tbsp basil leaves, chopped
1/3 ounce grated Parmesan
1 tsp lemon rind
1/3 tsp black pepper
1 minced garlic clove
1/3 tsp Kosher salt, or to taste
Preparation
- Mix together the ricotta, parmesan, and olive oil in a large bowl.
- While stirring, add the basil, lemon rind, black pepper, and salt, one at a time.

- Divide the cheese mixture into 4 servings and place onto the center of each gyoza.
- Make an impression into the mixture and add an egg yolk into each one.
- Whisk 1 large egg into a small bowl to create an egg wash.
- Brush the egg wash onto the edges of each gyoza wrapper to help make a seal.
- Take the remaining 4 gyoza skins and place them on top of the ones you put the filling in.
- Tightly press the edges of the gyoza together to create the seal for the ravioli.
- Boil water gently in a pot, adding salt and olive oil to taste, and place each ravioli in the pot.

- Take out the ravioli and serve immediately.
