Ingredients

  • Antonio’s large round cheese ravioli, frozen
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated, plus extra for serving (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 tsp parsley

Instructions

  1. Set out three wide and deep plates or bowls. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pour the flour in the first plate.
  3. Whisk the eggs and milk on a second plate.
  4. On a third plate combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and parsley.
