Directions

  1. Bring broth to boil in heavy small saucepan. Remove from heat and cover. Heat butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add in onion and saute/fry 4 min. Add in rice; stir 1 minute. Add in wine and stir till absorbed, about 1 minute. Add in 1/2 c. broth and simmer till liquid is absorbed, stirring often. Cook till rice is just tender and risotto is creamy, adding broth 1/2 c. at at time, stirring frequently and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding next, about 25 min. Fold in Parmesan. Season risotto with salt and pepper. Cold completely. Fold in 1 egg. Cover and chill.
  2. Place some flour in 1 bowl; place remaining egg in another bowl and beat to blend. Place breadcrumbs in third bowl. Using moistened hands, shape 1/4 c. (packed) cool risotto into ball. Poke hole in center. Fill with 1 rounded tsp. mozzarella and 1 tsp. prosciutto. Press risotto over filling. Coat rice balls in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Place on rack to dry. Repeat with remaining risotto, filling and coating. Let rice balls stand at least 30 min and up to 1 hour.
  3. Pour 1 1/2 inches oil into heavy medium pot. Attach deep-fry thermometer and heat oil to 360 degrees. Fry balls, 3 at a time, till golden brown and crusty, turning once, about 2 min. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm or possibly at room temperature.
