Description

These fritters are packed full with bacon and rice and cheese … it doesn’t get much better than that, folks, and why would you want it to?! They’re bound together with egg and panko bread crumbs and fried in what, you ask? Bacon grease!

They’re very yummy, very bacon-y, very cheesy and very bad for you!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Rice
  • 6 slices Bacon, Chopped Roughly
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese, Grated
  • 1 whole Egg, Lightly Beaten
  • ⅛ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Pepper
  • ½ cups Panko Bread Crumbs
  • ¼ cups Olive Oil

Preparation

In a medium saucepan, cook the rice according to package directions. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool slightly.

Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and add bread crumbs to a shallow dish or plate. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the bacon until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to the rice, reserving the grease in the skillet.

Add cheese and egg to the rice mixture and combine well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Using your hands, begin forming patties out of the mixture about 3″ wide. Transfer the patties to the bread crumbs, gently pressing down to allow adherence to the bottom of the patties. Flip over and do the same thing until they are lightly coated. Transfer coated patties to the baking sheet with parchment paper while working on the others.

Add the olive oil to the skillet with the bacon grease and heat over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the patties to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on both sides (about 3 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels and serve after slightly cooled.

These are very good! I fried the first batch, but put the rest in the oven and baked them (325 for 15 min, then turned them and baked them another 10 min) and it cut down on the grease quite a bit. They’d be great with an over-easy egg on top…yummm!
