Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
• 1.5 cups Broccoli florets (finely chopped)
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar 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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or use paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, finely chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 3

Add the eggs, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 4

Scoop about 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture into each muffin cup, pressing it down gently to pack it in firmly.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Serve the Rice Broccoli N Cheese Cups warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Enjoy!
