Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked rice
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Pizza sauce
- 0.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cups Bell peppers (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, eggs, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Transfer the rice mixture onto the prepared baking tray. Spread it out evenly to form a circular or rectangular crust about 1/2 inch thick. Press down firmly to compact the crust.
Bake the rice crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden and holds together.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, followed by cherry tomatoes and sliced bell peppers (or any other desired toppings).
Drizzle the olive oil over the toppings and sprinkle with dried oregano for extra flavor.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove the rice pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your homemade rice pizza!
