Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Ravioli (fresh or store-bought, cheese or meat-filled)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1.5 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (or other neutral oil suitable for frying)
- 1 cup Marinara sauce (for serving)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the flour in a shallow dish. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. In a third shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Working one at a time, dip each ravioli into the flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Place the breaded ravioli on a plate or tray, and repeat with all ravioli.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of bread; it should sizzle and turn golden within 30 seconds.
Carefully place a few pieces of breaded ravioli into the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the ravioli for 2–3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried ravioli to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining ravioli.
Serve the toasted ravioli warm, garnished with parsley if desired, and accompanied with marinara sauce for dipping.
