Ingredients
Oil for frying
24 frozen ravioli, thawed

1 egg
1/4 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Marinara sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Heat 2–3 inches of oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Line one baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and another with paper towels.
- In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
- Dip each ravioli into the egg mixture, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture. Place on the parchment-lined tray.

- Transfer to the paper towel-lined tray to drain. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and chopped parsley.
- Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
Air fry at 400°F for 8–10 minutes as a lighter alternative.
Add mozzarella or Pecorino to the breadcrumb mixture for extra cheese flavor.
Spice it up with red pepper flakes in the breading.
Use different ravioli fillings like spinach-ricotta or beef for variety.
