Utensils Used
| 1. Saute onion in 1 T butter over medium heat until translucent and beginning to brown. Remove from heat and allow to cool. | 2. In a bowl lightly beat 2 eggs. Stir in cooked rice, ham, melted butter, Parmesan cheese, sauteed onion, seasoned salt, garlic salt, parsley and pepper. | 3. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. | 4. Roll into 1-1/2-inch balls.and press a cheese cube into each ball, reshaping around the cheese.(I have used havarti and swiss in place of the cheddar with fantastic results!). | 5. Place the flour into a small bowl. Whisk 2 eggs in a second small bowl. Place the dry breadcrumbs in a third small bowl. | 6. Dip each ball into flour, then into the egg and then into the breadcrumbs. | 7. Heat oil to 375 degrees, then fry rice balls until golden brown (about 4 minutes). You can also shallow fry them in oil, turning to brown. | 8. Drain on paper towels and enjoy! They are nice dipped in french onion dip, ranch dip or all on their own. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
