Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Form 4 balls, about ½-cup each, of chilled leftover risotto into any shape you choose: triangles, squares, circles.

  2. Step 2

    In a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat melt enough butter to coat the pan. Sear the risotto cakes until golden brown. Flip and sear the second side. (If needed, use a splatter guard.) Transfer patties to a paper towel-lined plate.

  3. Step 3

    Wipe the skillet clean and place over medium-low heat. Crack the eggs gently into a bowl. Add enough butter to coat the skillet. Add one egg at a time to the pan and cook until the whites are opaque. Season with salt and pepper and serve over the risotto patties.

Where's the link to the original recipe from which one would serendipitously end up with leftover lobster risotto?

I Instinctively made this for breakfast the next day with leftover risotto. I happened to see the recipe after the fact. It's delicious.
