Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked brown rice
- 1 cup Shredded low-sodium cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Low-sodium cottage cheese
- 2 Eggs
- 1 bunch Green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, shredded low-sodium cheddar cheese, low-sodium cottage cheese, eggs, green onions, parsley, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Form the mixture into small, compact patties about 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches in diameter. You should have about 8 rice cakes.
Heat olive oil and unsalted butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the rice cakes to the skillet. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the rice cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked rice cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the cheesy rice cakes warm as a side dish or snack. Enjoy!
