Crispy Ravioli

Okay, so I may have messed this one up a little tiny bit (maybe a-lot-a-bit, we'll see).  I combined a few recipes that I read to create my own that sounded simple and yummy.  When I prepared them for all of you, I skipped one minor (er, major) step.  I did not par-boil the ravioli before breading them.  So, I did a little research and I think that they are salvageable.  Instead of following the instructions that I wrote on the bag, you should follow these instructions:

Ingredients:
1 bag of frozen cheese filled ravioli
3 eggs, beaten
2 parts plain bread crumbs
1 part seasoned bread crumbs
1 part parmesan cheese
salt & pepper to taste

Beat eggs in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine bread crumbs, cheese, salt, & pepper in a bowl.  Dip ravioli in egg, then roll in crumb mixture.  Flash freeze here, then store in gallon size freezer bag.

On serving day:
Thaw Ravioli.  Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.  Serve with marinara on the side for dipping.

An alternative if you're concerned about not having enough liquid would be to add some marinara sauce to the bottom of the pan.
