Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • canola oil for frying, enough to fill a pan about 2 inches deep
  • 2 large eggs slightly beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 16 ounces cheese ravioli thawed if frozen (1 package)
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Equipment

  • Deep frying pan or pot
  • deep-fry thermometer
  • shallow bowls (for egg wash and breadcrumbs)
  • Wire Rack
  • Paper Towels
  • Slotted spoon or spider

Method
 

  1. Line a work area with three layers of paper towels and set a wire rack on top for draining the fried ravioli.
  2. Pour canola oil into a deep frying pan or pot to a depth of about 2 inches and heat over medium until a deep-fry thermometer reads 325°F (about medium heat).
  3. Whisk the eggs and milk together in a shallow bowl to make the egg wash.
  4. In a separate shallow bowl, combine the Italian seasoned breadcrumbs and the Panko breadcrumbs.
  5. Working in batches, dip each ravioli into the egg and milk mixture to coat completely, letting excess drip off, then dredge thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
  6. Fry 3–5 ravioli at a time (do not overcrowd) until golden brown and crispy, about 1–3 minutes, turning as needed with a slotted spoon or spider.
  7. Transfer fried ravioli to the prepared wire rack to drain and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
  8. Repeat the dredging and frying process until all ravioli are cooked, then serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Do not boil or cook the ravioli before dredging.
  • Freeze cooked ravioli for later use.
  • Reheat frozen ravioli on a rimmed baking sheet at 375°F for 10–15 minutes or until hot.
