- Season with salt and mix everything well, put on a tray, cover with plastic wrap and leave to cool completely for a few hours in the refrigerator.
- Put the stracchino in a bowl and whisk with a fork until a creamy mixture is formed.
- For each croquette, place a tablespoon of rice in the palm of your hand and flatten to make a small hollow. Fill with a teaspoon of "stracchino cream" and cover with another tablespoon of rice. Shape into small balls. Make sure that the filling is completely covered by the rice.
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Dip the croquettes in it all around and then roll them in the breadcrumbs.
- Heat sunflower oil in a pot and deep-fry the croquettes in it. Once they are golden brown, take them out, put them on a paper towel and let them drain briefly.
- Finally, arrange on a serving tray and serve hot.Buon appetito!
