    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up a breading station by placing the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Season the flour with salt and black pepper.

    Bread the Ravioli

    Coat each ravioli in flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
