Ingredients

• 20 pieces Cheese ravioli (frozen or fresh)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 2 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 cup Marinara sauce (for serving)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare your breading station: Place the flour in a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

If using frozen ravioli, thaw slightly according to package instructions until soft enough to handle.

Step 3

Dredge each piece of ravioli in the flour, coating all sides. Shake off excess flour and then dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 4

Transfer the ravioli to the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to adhere the breadcrumbs on all sides. Place the breaded ravioli on a baking sheet or plate and repeat with the remaining ravioli.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to ensure precise oil temperature.

Step 6

Carefully place a few ravioli into the hot oil at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until the ravioli are golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove the fried ravioli with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining ravioli.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately with warm marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
