Ingredients

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

Steps:

Combine butter and olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add rice and stir to coat. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
Stir in water, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Stir in lemon juice; cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 5 minutes longer.
Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for at least 5 minutes.
