Serves: Approx. 25-30
Ingredients
  • 1 cup whole grain rice blend (the one that I used was a blend of brown jasmine rice, lentils and red quinoa)
  • 2¼ cup water (more or less depending on the rice blend that is used)
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (I used a frozen Classic Mixed Vegetable Blend of corn, carrots, peas and cut green beans)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or cheese of choice
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste.
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Spray either 2 mini muffin pans, 2 regular muffin pans or one of each (depending on the size bites you want) with non stick cooking spray or use silicon muffin pans.
  3. Cook rice blend according to package instructions and let cool slightly.
  4. Defrost vegetables if using frozen or chop fresh veggies into small pieces.
  5. Combine rice, vegetables, eggs, cheese and spices in a large mixing bowl.
  6. Stir to combine thoroughly
  7. Spoon mixture into muffin pans
  8. Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until edges are golden brown (the cooking time will vary based on the muffin pan size used).
  9. Remove from oven and let cool to touch.
  10. Enjoy!
Notes
To freeze, let the bites cool completely.
Then place in freezer bags or vacuum seal.
Freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat: place in the microwave for 30 seconds on high, in intervals until they are warmed through.
