How to Make Suppli Al Telefono Fried Rice Cheese Balls

  1. Whisk 2 large eggs in a medium bowl.
  2. Prepare 2 cups of cooked risotto (recipe #99860 or #32295 recommended). Let it cool slightly.
  3. Gently scoop 1 tablespoon of risotto into your cupped hand or use a spoon. Add another tablespoon to form a small, flat patty.
  4. Place 1/2 ounce (15g) cube of mozzarella cheese (or other soft cheese) in the center of the risotto patty.
  5. Top with another tablespoon of risotto, carefully shaping into a ball.
  6. Roll each ball in 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. Place on a wax paper-lined sheet.
  7. Repeat steps 3-6 until all risotto and cheese are used.
  8. Refrigerate the rice balls for at least 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
  10. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (350°F/175°C). Carefully fry no more than 5 rice balls at a time for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Turn occasionally for even cooking.
  11. Remove the fried rice balls and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Keep warm in the preheated oven for up to 10 minutes.
