Crockpot Monday: Breakfast Risotto

Every time I watch a cooking show and they make risotto, I go, "oooooh...." because it always looks amazing! Do you have one of those food items that always makes you drool?

Breakfast Risotto:

Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
3 small apples
1.5 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1.5 cups arborio rice
1/3 cup brown sugar
4 cups of liquid – You can combine juice and milk for this or just use milk.

Directions:

Turn your crockpot to high and add the butter so it can start melting. Wash and cut up your apples. Add the rice to the butter, and stir it around to coat it nicely. If the butter isn't completely melted, don't worry.

Add the apples, and spices. Stir in the juice/milk.

Cover and cook on high for 3-5 hours, or on low for 6 or so.

With the holidays coming, I keep thinking that this would be a perfect set it and forget it breakfast.  If you try it, let me know! I've been tempted to try adding raisins the next time that I make it.
