Cheese-filled Arancini | Crispy Italian Rice Balls

Mix the cooked rice with grated Parmesan, salt, pepper, dried oregano, and grated lemon zest. Work thoroughly to get a moldable mixture.

Take a tablespoon of rice in your palm and flatten it. Place a cube of mozzarella in the center, then close the rice around it and form a ball. Make sure no cheese is sticking out.

Prepare three bowls: put flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs in the third. Roll the balls first in flour, then in egg, and finally in breadcrumbs.
