Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 0.5 cups parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups mozzarella cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cups bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cups olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and fresh parsley.
Crack in the eggs and mix thoroughly until the mixture is well-combined.
Add the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Using your hands, shape the rice mixture into small patties or balls, about 2 inches in diameter.
Place the bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Roll each patty in the bread crumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the rice fritters in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry each fritter for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
