1 egg
50gr grated parmesan cheese
100gr mozzarella cheese, cut into cubes
150gr flour
2 beaten eggs
200gr breadcrumbs

Wet your hands slightly and shape the rice into a ball (the shape of an egg)
Form a small hollow in the ball and push 1-2 cubes of mozzarella into it. Shape the ball and set aside.
Repeat the operation for the whole mixture.
Pour the flour in a flat plate, the two eggs in a hollow plate and beat them, then the breadcrumbs on a flat plate. Dip each rice ball into the flour and shake off the excess.
Then pass each rice ball through the two beaten eggs, and then through the breadcrumbs.
Preheat the oil in the deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Preheat oven to 375F
Dip the supplì in the oil and fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden.
Transfer to paper towels.
Place the supplì on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375F for 10 minutes, this will allow the cheese to melt. When you eat it, the cheese will stretch like a telephone wire.
Serve plain or with a tomato sauce.
