Ingredients

2 cups of rice
2 eggs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup diced mozzarella
Bread crumbs

We start cooking the rice as usual, but we will add more water than normal to make it creamier. Let it cool and add an egg and Parmesan cheese. Then we mix everything very well so that they are compact.
Now we have to bread the balls. To do this, we prepare a beaten egg in a deep plate and breadcrumbs in another plate.
We make small balls with the rice, and in the center of each one of them, we put a cube of mozzarella. We breaded by first going through the egg, and then through the breadcrumbs.
When we have them all empanadas, we heat the oil in a pan and fry them until they are golden. If you prefer, instead of fried, to make them healthier, you can also bake them.

Take a bite and enjoy them.
