2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup medium-grain white rice
2 cups water
¼ cup lemon juice
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 large egg, whisked

Directions

Combine butter and olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add rice and stir to coat. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
