Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked risotto rice, cooled
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, mix the cooked risotto rice with grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
-
Take a small portion of the rice mixture and form it into a ball. Make a small hole in the center and place a mozzarella cube inside. Close the hole and roll the ball to seal it. Repeat with the remaining rice mixture and mozzarella.
-
Dip each rice ball into beaten eggs, then roll it in breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to about 350°F (175°C).

Carefully add the rice balls to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
-
Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, cheesy arancini!
