Ingredients
  

For the Ravioli
  • 16 ounces Ravioli Choose refrigerated or frozen, cheese or meat-filled for the best flavor and texture.
For the Breading
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs You can substitute with panko for extra crispiness.
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese Optional; consider adding garlic powder for an extra flavor boost.
  • 2 large Eggs Can use 1-2 egg substitutes for a vegan-friendly option if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons Milk Non-dairy milk can replace regular milk for lactose-free choices.
For Cooking
  • 2 cups Vegetable oil Can substitute with canola or peanut oil if preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust according to taste.
For Garnish
  • Fresh parsley Optional; adds a touch of color and freshness.

Equipment

  • Shallow Bowls
  • deep skillet or frying pan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Breading Station: In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and a splash of milk until smooth for your egg wash. In another bowl, combine Italian-style breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese, mixing thoroughly. Set these bowls aside.
  2. Bread the Ravioli: Take each ravioli and dip it into the egg wash, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure a thick, even layer of crumbs sticks to each piece.
  3. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, pour in vegetable oil until it reaches about 1-2 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  4. Fry the Ravioli: Carefully add the breaded ravioli to the hot oil in small batches, frying them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Drain and Season: Transfer the fried toasted ravioli to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While they’re still hot, sprinkle a pinch of salt over them to enhance the flavor.
  6. Serve: Present your crispy toasted ravioli hot, alongside a warm bowl of marinara sauce for dipping. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
