Steps:
- Cook rice according to package directions. Allow to cool until comfortable to handle.
- Stir in one egg, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
- Place flour in a small bowl. Beat 2 eggs in a second bowl. Place bread crumbs in a third bowl.
- Divide rice mixture into 24 equal portions about the size of a golf ball. Roll each portion into a ball. Roll rice ball in flour. Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (Mix will be sticky.)
- Dip each rice ball into the egg wash. Dredge in bread crumbs, and place rice balls back on baking sheet. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
- Give each rice ball another quick roll in your hands to tighten up and smooth out the surface.
- Heat oil to 375 degrees F in a large sauce pan.
- Cook rice balls in the hot oil in batches, about 4 per batch. Gently stir with spoon. Cook until rice balls are golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Drain on paper-towel-lined plate or baking sheet. Salt lightly.
- Serve hot with heated marinara sauce.
