Instructions
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, add both bread crumbs and seasonings and set aside.
Set up the dipping/breading station
Working with one to two raviolis at a time, dip into the egg wash, then dip and coat it in the bread crumb mixture. Make sure each ravioli is completely coated before cooking.
When the oil has heated to 350-365 degrees, starting with one ravioli, gently add it to the hot oil.
Note** Keep adjusting the temperature of the oil to keep it at/above 350 degrees but less than 375 degrees.
These can be cooked in batches of 2-3 at a time, just make sure they don’t get stuck together while frying.
Cook until the outside is golden brown and krispy, approximately 30 seconds-1 minute per ravioli.
Any longer than 1 minute the ravioli could explode.
Using a slotted metal spoon or metal spatula, remove cooked ravioli to the paper towel lined cooking tray.
Serve immediately garnished with fresh chopped parsley and grated fresh parmesan cheese with your favorite marinara or dipping sauce.
