Procedure:

1. Breading: Put the bread crumbs in a medium bowl. Set aside.

2. Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the rice, bread crumbs, parmesan, basil, and eggs. With damp hands, form the mixture into balls. Make a hole in the center of each ball and insert a cube of cheese, mushroom and sausage. Cover up the hole to completely enclose the stuffing and roll the balls in breadcrumbs to coat.
