Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked brown rice
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Chopped green onions
- 1 cup Chopped cooked chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and eggs. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Add the chopped green onions, chopped cooked chicken breast, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the rice mixture. Stir until well combined.
Grease a muffin tin with olive oil or line it with muffin liners.
Fill each muffin cup with the rice mixture, pressing down slightly to compact the mixture and form a cake.
Brush the tops of each rice cake lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cakes are set.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm.
