Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
- 1.5 cups Broccoli florets (finely chopped)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (for greasing the muffin tin)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or use paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, finely chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Add the eggs, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Scoop about 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture into each muffin cup, pressing it down gently to pack it in firmly.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops of the cups are lightly golden and set.
Remove the tin from the oven and let the cups cool for 5-10 minutes before carefully removing them using a small spatula or butter knife.
Serve the Rice Broccoli N Cheese Cups warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Enjoy!
