INGREDIENTS

• 4 cups cooked Arborio rice
• 3 eggs; beaten (1 egg should be set aside for the egg wash)
• 1/2 cup Romano cheese; grated
• 8 ounces cube mozzarella, fresh
• 4 ounces prosciutto, chopped
• Salt to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 2 cups oil for frying


DIRECTIONS

Mix together rice, eggs, Romano cheese, prosciutto, salt, 1/4 teaspoon oregano and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix ingredients, place a tablespoon in your hand, and insert a cube of mozzarella into the center of the rice mixture.

Roll rice mixture into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter, dip in egg wash and then roll in the seasoned bread crumbs. Heat about 1-1/2 inches of oil in an 8- or 10-inch skillet. Fry rice balls about 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
