Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Great Value Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
- 2 cups cooked and cooled arborio or regular long-grain white rice
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 6 small Your Fresh Market mozzarella cubed each 3/4-inch
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with foil and drizzle with oil. Spread bread crumbs on a plate and set aside.
- Stir rice with egg, parmesan and salt in a medium bowl. Gather 1/3 cup of rice mixture and form into a ball using wet hands. Tuck a mozzarella cube into the centre, then reshape into a ball.
- Roll each ball through bread crumbs, just enough to lightly coat. Place on foil-lined baking sheet and roll in oil to coat. Repeat with remaining rice, bread crumbs and oil. There will be 6 balls. Bake in centre of oven until golden, about 25 minutes, turning halfway through.
