Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
- Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

- Soften mushrooms in warm water for 20 minutes. Place the Fontina cheese in a bowl, cover with the milk and soak for several hours in the refrigerator. Melt half the butter in a saucepan and saute the onion over low heat until transparent. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft. Next add the rice and stir until the rice absorbs the butter. Pour in the wine and stir. When the wine has been absorbed, add the beef broth a little at a time, stirring continuously until fully absorbed. Cook for 10 minutes longer. Turn off the heat, cover the saucepan and let stand for a few more minutes without stirring until the rice is soft but al dente. While the rice is cooking, prepare the sauce. Put the softened cheese and milk into a double boiler and cook over medium heat until the cheese starts to melt. Then stir in the egg yolks and the rest of the butter. Keep stirring until the cheese has completely melted and the mixture is uniformly blended. Sprinkle with salt. Put the rice into a warmed serving bowl, pour the cheese mixture over it and serve immediately.
