Italian Rice Balls Recipe

2 cups white rice, cooked in 4 cups of water
2 eggs
8 oz. ricotta
8 oz. shredded mozzarella
4 oz. diced ham
2 heaping TBS Parmesan cheese
salt & pepper
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
bread crumbs for coating rice balls
olive oil

To the cooked rice add all of the ingredients except the last two. Mixture should be slightly wet. If it won't form into balls, add more bread crumbs. If too dry, add another egg.

Form into the size of meatballs. Roll in additional bread crumbs. Gently place into skillet with enough oil to come up 3/4ths of the way of the rice ball. Cook until well browned on all sides.
