- 1⁄2 tbsp. chopped fresh oregano
- 1⁄2 tsp. kosher salt

Instructions
Step 1
Combine rice, Parmigiano-Reggiano, oregano, salt, pepper, and egg. Form rice mixture into eight 2" round cakes. Transfer cakes to a sheet tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Step 2
Put flour on a plate; dredge cakes in flour. Heat oil and 3 tbsp. of the butter in a 10" skillet over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches, fry cakes, turning once, until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
Step 3
Garnish each cake with a thin slice of softened butter and sprinkle with finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves.
