   Quick Tip: To save dishes, the breadcrumb mixture can be done in a paper bowl or on a paper plate.

   Using your hands, form the risotto into medium-sized balls. With one hand, roll them in the egg, one by one. With the other hand, roll them in the breadcrumb mixture and then place them on a plate.

   Melt the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Place the risotto in the pan and gently flatten with a spatula. Cook for about 3 minutes and then flip, cooking for another 2-3 minutes longer. Cook for more or less time based on how dark and crispy you like them.
