This Mozzarella Rice Torte is a backyard BBQ recipe I grew up with. A rice torte is a great side dish to bring to someone’s house for a summer BBQ, a Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving, or any holiday party. In addition to a side dish for a party, it’s a great main course when served with fruit and vegetables.

My Mozzarella Rice Torte is really easy to make. Here is what you need:

Ingredients:

• 3 cups cooked rice
• 4 eggs-beaten and mixed well
• 1 cup Parmesan
• 1 tablespoons nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 2 pats of butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin is best)
• ¼ cup tablespoons chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon thyme
• 2 tablespoons basil
• 1 package of shredded mozzarella

Mix together, then add rice and mix well.

Pre-heat oven 350.

1. Layer one half of rice mixture, and smooth out with a spoon 
2. Layer all of the mozzarella on top of the rice
3. Layer the second half of the rice mixtures, and smooth out with a spoon.

1. Bake covered for 45 minutes at 350.
2. Bake uncovered an additional 5 minutes at 350.
3. Let the torte cool for an hour before slicing into cubes.
4. Serve at room temperature.

Voila! You have a delicious side dish everyone will enjoy!
