Ingredients
- 1 (20- to 25-ounce) pkg. frozen ravioli
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1½ cups Italian bread crumbs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3-4 cups vegetable oil for frying
- ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- marinara sauce for serving
Instructions
- In a small, shallow bowl, mix together the milk and eggs, whisking until fully combined.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the bread crumbs, salt, and parmesan cheese. You can do this easily in a Ziploc bag, simply dump it all in, seal it, and shake it!
- Dip the pieces of ravioli into the egg mixture. Then dip the ravioli in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Fry in a pan with 2 inches of oil at 350°F for 2-3 minutes total. You may need to flip the ravioli halfway through.
- Remove the ravioli from the oil when the tops of the ravioli are golden, and put them on a plate lined with paper towels or parchment paper. Let the excess oil drip off before serving.
- Serve with marinara.

Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: Simply put your toasted ravioli in a freezer-safe container or in a Ziploc bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Reheat: Reheat in the air fryer for 4-5 minutes at 350°F or in the oven at 375°F for 10-15 minutes until hot and crispy again.
- Air fryer toasted ravioli: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Coat the ravioli in the eggwash and then the breadcrumbs. Spray your breaded ravioli with cooking spray and arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Fry ravioli for 6-10 minutes, flipping the ravioli halfway through.
- Baked toasted ravioli: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Thaw your ravioli first, or use fresh ravioli. Coat with the eggwash and breadcrumb mixture, then spray the breaded ravioli with cooking spray. Bake for 10-15 minutes on a wire rack sprayed with cooking spray set over a large baking sheet until golden brown.
