👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Breading Station:

   • In one bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together.

   • In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Coat the Ravioli:

   • Dip each ravioli in the egg mixture, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently so the coating sticks well.

3. Fry the Ravioli:

   • Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat (350°F / 175°C).

   • Fry the ravioli in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

   • Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel–lined plate.

4. Serve:

   • Sprinkle with extra Parmesan or chopped parsley.

   • Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
