Recipe
5 eggs
250 g cooked long grain rice
½ cup grated cheddar cheese (60g)
150 g blanched and chopped spinach
3 spring onions finely chopped (40g)
½ red (bell pepper) capsicum finely chopped (75g)
½ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp white pepper
Method
Preheat and prepare the pan: Get your oven started by preheating it to 190°C (375°F) for a normal bake. While the oven heats up, grease or spray a 20 cm round non-stick tin or silicone mold with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
Whisk the eggs and season: In a bowl, whisk together your eggs. Add salt and pepper, whisking them in to combine.
Combine the ingredients: Add the cooked rice, cheese, spinach, chopped onion, and chopped capsicum to the whisked eggs. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together until the rice, vegetables, cheese, and eggs are evenly mixed.
Bake the rice cake: Pour the mixed rice cake batter into your greased pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top of the batter for an even bake. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the rice cake for approximately 30 minutes.
Cool, slice, and serve: Once the baking time is up, take the rice cake out of the oven and let it cool completely in the pan. This will allow it to set firmly. Once cool, carefully flip the rice cake upside down onto a serving plate. Cut the rice cake into slices and enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
Note: For a variety use other vegetables such as carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, pumpkin and potatoes.
