  • 1 Onion Finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice

  • Gradually add warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring continuously until absorbed before adding the next ladle.

  • Crack each egg into a small bowl. Carefully slide each egg into the simmering water.
  • Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny.
  • Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • Serve the risotto in bowls. Top each bowl with a poached egg.
  • Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a splash of white wine after adding the rice and let it absorb before adding the broth.
