Ingredients

3 1/2 cups chicken stock
3 tbsp butter
3/4 cup onion
1 cup carnaroli or arborio rice
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup parmesan
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 tbsp basil
salt and pepper (optional)
3 eggs
1/2 cup mozzarella
1/2 cup flour

Steps

Preheat the air fryer to 400 F.
Heat the chicken stock in a saucepan, then melt the butter in a large skillet and cook the onion for 5 minutes.
Stir in the rice for 2 minutes, add the wine, and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the warm stock gradually, stirring often for 20 minutes, then mix in the Parmesan, cream, and basil.
Cool the risotto in a shallow pan for 20 minutes.
Shape 24 balls around the mozzarella, then coat each ball in flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
Air fry the balls in batches for 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until crisp and the centers are hot.
