Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 24

Ingredients
  

  • 4  cups  Vegetable Oil
  • 6  whole Eggs
  • 1/2  cup  Half-and-half
  • 2  cups  All-purpose Flour
  • 2  cups  Seasoned Breadcrumbs
  • 24  whole Frozen Ravioli (cheese Or Meat)
  • 2  cups  Jarred Marinara Sauce, Heated
  • 1/4  cup  Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • 1  Tbsp.  Minced Fresh Parsley

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 400 degrees.
  • Whisk together the eggs and half-and-half in a dish. Place the flour in a separate dish. Pour the breadcrumbs into a third dish.
  • Grab the ravioli right out of the freezer. One at a time, drop the ravioli into the egg mixture, then dredge them in flour, then dunk them once again in the egg mixture, then coat them in the breadcrumbs. Set them aside on a plate as you go.
  • 3 or 4 at a time, drop the breaded ravioli into the oil and fry them for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the surface is golden brown and the filling is hot. They brown quickly, so watch them the whole time!
  • Remove them to a paper towel and repeat with the rest of the ravioli. Transfer them to a serving platter, sprinkle on the Parmesan and parsley, and serve with the marinara sauce.
