Cooking duration: 25 minutes

 

Ingredients:

About 2 cups frozen chopped broccoli

2 eggs

Fresh ground pepper

About 2 cups pre-cooked leftover rice (I used Basmati)

1 teaspoon Red Robin Seasoning

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Equipment:

muffin tray

oven

mixing bowl

microwave

kitchen towels

bowl

whisk

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.Put the broccoli in a medium microwave safe mixing bowl, cover and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir, then cover and microwave another minute. If the broccoli is fully thawed at this point, stop. If not, stir and put it back in for another minute in the microwave. Use a clean tea towel to squeeze out the excess moisture.Add the rice to the bowl and, if the rice is cold, microwave for a couple minutes to warm it up, stopping to stir everything together and make sure everything gets nice and warm. If the rice is already hot, just add it to the bowl and stir it into the broccoli. Add the shredded cheese and stir to mix. The cheese should start to melt a bit and hold the rice mixture together.In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with the seasoning and pepper until well beaten. Pour the eggs into the broccoli mixture and stir to mix. Scoop into the prepared muffin tin, dividing the mixture relatively evenly between the 12 spots. Sprinkle each one with a little more cheddar cheese.Bake at 350 F for about 25 minutes or until the cheese on top is melted and the rice starts to get a little crunchy. Enjoy while they're hot!

Food Joke

A woman and a man got into a really bad car accident. Both cars are totaled, but luckily no one was hurt. After they crawled out of their cars, the woman said, "Wow, just look at our cars! They are destroyed. Fortunately, we aren't hurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days." The man replied, "I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God! " The woman continued, "And look at this, here's another miracle... My car is completely ruined but this bottle of wine didn't break. It's a sign that God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune." Then she handed the bottle to the man. The man agreed, opened the bottle and drank half, and then handed it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle, immediately puts the cap back on, and handed it back to the man. The man asked, "Aren't you having any?" The woman replied, "No. I think I'll just wait for the police.
