Place 2.5 parts water in a deep pot for every 1 part rice and cook over medium heat until all the water evaporates.

In a skillet, add a splash of olive oil and butter and wait for it to melt.

Add chopped onion and season with salt and pepper, cooking until translucent.

Transfer the cooked onion to a bowl and add chopped parsley.

Add the cooled rice to the bowl with the onion and parsley.

Cut the cremon cheese into cubes and add it to the rice mixture, mixing until compact.

Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, take a portion of the mixture, and form a ball.

Make a small hole in the center of the ball, place a piece of cremon cheese inside, and seal it back into a ball shape.

Dip the formed croqueta in egg and then coat it in breadcrumbs.

Heat oil to 180 degrees Celsius and fry the croquetas until they bubble immediately upon contact with the oil.

Once fried, place the croquetas on a plate, garnish with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
