Preparation

In a large pan, heat oil, then add and melt butter. Sweat onion and garlic over medium heat. Add rice, stir well and cook until it becomes translucent.

Mix in broth, wine, bay leaf, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring to boil and cook covered for 16 to 18 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove bay leaf and thyme sprig.

Take pan off heat and add cheeses, mix well so they melt into the hot risotto. Adjust seasoning and serve as an accompaniment to grilled or roast meat.
