Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked rice
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and eggs. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Add the all-purpose flour, salt, and ground black pepper to the rice mixture. Stir until the flour is fully incorporated and the mixture holds together.
Fold in the chopped parsley, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Divide the rice mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a compact patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the rice cakes into the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
Cook the rice cakes for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Once cooked, transfer the rice cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the cheesy rice cakes warm as a delicious snack or as an accompaniment to your favorite meal.
