  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 16 ounces cheese ravioli thawed if frozen (1 package)
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Stack three paper towels near the work station and place a wire rack over the paper towels. (This is where the fried ravioli will drain.)

  • Dredge the ravioli in the breadcrumbs.
