Begin by cooking the brown rice. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of brown rice, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 45 minutes until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed. Let it cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the cooked brown rice to the mixture in the bowl. Stir until the rice is fully incorporated and the mixture is evenly mixed.
Grease an 8-inch round or square baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Spoon the brown rice mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press it down gently with the back of a spoon to distribute it evenly.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the rice mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and the mixture is set.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing into portions.
Serve the brown rice cake warm or at room temperature, either as is or alongside a fresh salad.
