\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1 cup Arborio rice<\/li>\n
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup white wine (optional)<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup crumbled feta cheese<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese<\/li>\n
  • 2 eggs, beaten<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 cup all-purpose flour<\/li>\n
  • Salt and pepper to taste<\/li>\n
  • Olive oil cooking spray<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Preheat your oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C).<\/li>\n
    2. In a saucepan, bring the broth (and wine if using) to a simmer. Add the Arborio rice and cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid, about 20-25 minutes.<\/li>\n
    3. Remove the risotto from heat and stir in the feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.<\/li>\n
    4. Spread the risotto mixture onto a baking sheet and let it cool completely.<\/li>\n
    5. Once cool, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the risotto mixture and roll it into a ball. Coat the balls in flour, then dip them in the beaten eggs, and finally roll them in breadcrumbs until evenly coated.<\/li>\n
    6. Place the breaded arancini balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and spray them generously with olive oil cooking spray.<\/li>\n
    7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through.<\/li>\n
    8. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or garlic aioli.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
