Description

Enjoy these crispy, cheesy Baked Arancini for a delightful Italian-inspired appetizer or snack. These rice balls are filled with gooey mozzarella, seasoned to perfection, and baked to a golden crispiness.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Rice Mixture:

  • 2 cups Arborio rice
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Arancini Balls:

  • 2 cups bread crumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, cubed

Additional:

  • Olive oil for brushing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice Mixture: Cook Arborio rice in chicken broth until al dente. Let it cool. Mix cooled rice with Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley.
  2. Shape the Arancini Balls: Form balls of rice around a small cube of mozzarella. Compress the rice gently but firmly to hold the shape.
  3. Bread the Arancini: Beat eggs in a bowl. Dip each rice ball into the eggs, then roll in bread crumbs.
  4. Bake the Arancini: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place arancini on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • Ensure the rice mixture is sticky but not too wet for easy shaping.
  • Seal the filling well to avoid leakage during baking.
  • Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
