Instructions
| Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| 1 | Allow the frozen ravioli to thaw. You can leave them on the counter for about an hour or use cold water to thaw them faster. |
| 2 | In a small bowl, beat the egg thoroughly. |
| 3 | Pour the breadcrumbs into a shallow dish like a pie plate for easy coating. |
| 4 | Heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. |
| 5 | Dip each ravioli into the beaten egg, then coat it generously with the breadcrumbs, ensuring the ravioli is well-covered on both sides. |
| 6 | Carefully place the breaded ravioli into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, which should take about 2-3 minutes per side. |
| 7 | Once done, remove the ravioli from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. |
| 8 | Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping. |

These breaded ravioli are crispy, golden, and utterly delicious. They make an irresistible appetizer that will become a regular at your dinner table. With minimal effort and only a few ingredients, you’ll get a mouthwatering snack that’s bound to impress anyone who tries it. Enjoy!
