Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions. Stir until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and olive oil until well blended.
In a separate bowl, mix the whey protein powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the wet ingredients to the rice mixture, stirring until everything is combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the rice mixture, stirring until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your high protein cheesy rice bread as a flavorful, satisfying bite!
