I've had this recipe card laying around the kitchen for awhile for something called "breakfast in a cup." It's a rice, cheese, and egg mixture you bake in the oven. I finally decided to play with it today. I've been thinking of trying to make them with egg replacer. I had this great idea to use coconut milk instead of water to give it a creamier texture. They came out OK, the outside is kind of crispy and the inside moist. I served them for breakfast with some fresh fruit salad. I think they'd make a good buffet item with a nice sauce, maybe some salsa.
Baked Rice Bites
3 cups cooked brown rice
1 red pepper diced
1/2 cup diced onion
2-3 mild chilis diced
1/3 cup coconut milk
3 TBL egg replacer whipped with 1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, or to taste.
Combine all in a large bowl and spoon into muffin cups. Bake at 400° for about 15 minutes until they start to brown a bit.
I added the rest of them to my pot of beans, now I've got beans and rice for lunch this week too.
