In just 30 minutes, you can whip up this delectable risotto that serves four, making it an ideal choice for a family brunch or a cozy lunch at home.

The secret to this dish lies in the careful layering of flavors.

The creamy consistency is achieved by slowly simmering the rice in low-salt chicken broth, allowing it to absorb the liquid gradually and become tender. Topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and sprinkled with vibrant Italian parsley, this Breakfast Risotto is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate.

Whether you’re serving it as a side dish or making it the main event, this risotto is versatile enough to satisfy any appetite.
