Growing up, I remember my dad making these for me every time we had leftover rice in the fridge. I generally make these for breakfast but occasionally enjoy them for dinner when my husband is out of town and I want to make something quick and easy. This recipe is a great base. Have fun changing it up and making it your own! Great topped with salsa!

Recipe Ingredients

  • ½ cup cooked white rice
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 ½ teaspoons butter

Cooking Directions

  1. 1 Mix rice, egg, basil, milk, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
  2. 2 Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pour rice mixture into the skillet in 2 equal portions. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until second side is browned, about 2 minutes more.

    This could be a good recipe, except when I double the portion, 2 eggs are too much. I recommend 1 egg for 1 cup of rice.

    Thanks Lowe! This made for a nice, simple snack. I sprinkled a little cinnamon over mine.
