Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 1 cup Cooked diced ham
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced ham, shredded mozzarella, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.
Lightly flour a clean surface and place the rice mixture on it. Flatten the mixture into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick using your hands or a rolling pin.
Carefully roll the rectangle into a log shape, keeping the roll as tight as possible.
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1-inch thick slices to create the wheels.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Gently sear each rice wheel for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer the seared rice wheels onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the wheels are heated through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as is!
