- 2 cups Italian-Style Breadcrumbs, Divided
- 1 Medium Size Bocconcini
- 5 Tablespoons Flour
- 4 cups, 3 tablespoons, 1-78 teaspoons, 1/4 pinches Canola Oil, Or As Needed For Frying
- In a bowl, mix mushroom risotto with 1 beaten egg, Parmigiano, and a couple of tablespoons of breadcrumbs.
- If the mixture is too soft, add a bit more breadcrumbs until it has the proper consistency to make a ball.
- Cut bocconcini into small pieces and add to risotto.
- With a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and use another spoon to form a ball.
- Flour hands slightly and mold mixture into a nice and even ball, about 3 to 4 centimeters in diameter.
- Beat remaining 2 eggs with some salt and pepper.
- In a separate shallow bowl, add flour.
- Place risotto balls into egg mixture and coat well, then place in bowl with flour and coat well.
- Put arancini on a sheet and refrigerate for 30 degrees 45 minutes, to firm up.
