Cheesy Risotto Balls Recipe

Ingredients

1

package (5.7 oz) cheddar broccoli rice mix

1/3

cup garden vegetable cream cheese spread (from 8-oz container)

2

                        cans (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count)

2

eggs, beaten

2

cups Progresso™ plain panko crispy bread crumbs

Preparation

Heat oven to 375°F.

Make rice as directed on package. Remove from heat; stir in cream cheese spread until melted.

While rice is cooking, separate dough into 16 triangles. Place eggs and bread crumbs in separate bowls. Place 2 tablespoons rice mixture in center of each triangle. Wrap dough around rice mixture to form ball, sealing well so rice mixture is completely covered.

Dip balls into eggs; coat with bread crumbs. Place on 2 ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake about 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 15 minutes; serve warm.
