Instructions

Step 1

Combine cooked risotto, grated cheeses, egg and seasonings. Use an ice cream scoop to portion out balls of rice, about the size of a small orange.

Step 2

Form into patties in your hands and place a mozzarella cube in the center. Fold the rice over, making sure cheese is not exposed. Set aside on a plate or baking tray to chill in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.

Step 3

Set up a station of 3 shallow bowls. Roll each ball into flour, then beaten eggs and breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Pour avocado oil into heavy bottomed pot set over medium heat to at least 350°F/180°C. About 3-4 inches deep. The oil should sizzle when you drop the balls in. Fry in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side until deep golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
