Whether youβre hosting a party or indulging in a snack night, breaded ravioli will leave your taste buds begging for more.
Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
If using frozen ravioli, thaw them according to package instructions. Dry the ravioli with a paper towel to ensure the breading sticks.
Dredge each ravioli in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, coating completely, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the breaded ravioli on a baking sheet.
Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350Β°F (175Β°C). Use a cooking thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Fry the breaded ravioli in batches, about 4β6 at a time, to avoid overcrowding the pot. Cook them for 2β3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried ravioli and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the breaded ravioli warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
