Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the cheese ravioli according to package instructions until just tender. Drain and let them cool completely on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
In a separate shallow dish, combine the Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Dip each cooked ravioli into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to adhere the coating to both sides of the ravioli. Place the coated ravioli on a clean plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. To test the oil, drop in a small piece of breadcrumb mixture; if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
Fry the breaded ravioli in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan or microwave until heated through.
Serve the toasty cheese ravioli immediately with a side of warm marinara sauce for dipping. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
