Method

  • Mix rice, cheese, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper together - form into 1 inch sized balls.

  • Crack eggs into a shallow dish. Add olive oil and whisk well.

  • Place rice chex in a food processor and crush until it resembles breadcrumbs. (You can also put the rice chex in a plastic sandwich bag and use a rolling pin to crush.) Put crushed rice chex in a separate shallow dish.

  • Take one rice ball and dip it in the egg mixture, making sure it gets coated on all sides. Repeat with all rice balls.

  • Bake breaded rice balls on a nonstick or parchment lined baking sheet at 425f for 30 minutes or until golden on all sides. You can also fry breaded rice balls in vegetable oil for about 5 - 10 minutes until golden on all sides.

  • Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
