It's not a traditional risotto, where you stand at the stove forever and gradually stir liquid into pan-toasted rice. It's sort of like a cross between risotto and fried rice. You saute bacon and aromatics, add stock and cream, then add in cooked rice, peas, and parmesan. Top with a fried egg.
I subbed half-and-half for heavy cream. Because cream, bacon, eggs, cheese.... it's a heavy recipe, for sure. And it worked fine with the half-and-half. In fact, it was delicious.
Oh, and I made the eggs basted instead of sunny-side-up, because my guys prefer less-runny yolks.
Verdict: Very, very tasty, but something to only have every once in a while. This is Paula Deen level of fatty deliciousness.
