Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cook ravioli according to package instructions, then drain and let cool.
  • Once cooled, pat each one dry so the coating will stick better.

Mixing Breadcrumbs

  • In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Stir until the crumbs are even and fragrant.

Coating

  • Dip each ravioli in the beaten egg, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Press gently so crumbs cling, and set on a plate to rest briefly.

Frying

  • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.
  • Fry the ravioli in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving

  • Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

For leftovers, layer with parchment paper in the fridge. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispness. Avoid the microwave to keep the crust from softening.
