Description

This dish is warm and cozy, full of healthy veggies and brown rice. Eggs bind the ingredients together, so you end up with something kind of like a casserole that can be scooped out with a spoon. The best part, however, is the sprinkling of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese over the top, which gives it an irresistible, crackly, cheesy crust.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 cups Broccoli Florets, Finely Chopped
  • 1 whole Small Onion, Chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • Salt To Taste
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper, To Taste
  • 2 cups Cooked Rice (white Or Brown)
  • 3 whole Large Eggs, Lightly Beaten
  • 10 Tablespoons Parmesan Cheese, Divided (use Pamigiano Reggiano For The Best Flavor)
  • ½ teaspoons Fine-grain Sea Salt (or 1/4 Teaspoon Table Salt)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Grease a 1.5 quart baking dish and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli, onion, garlic, and salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the vegetables are softened. Set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, stir together the rice, eggs, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese, and the sea salt. Add the broccoli mixture, and stir to combine.

Pour the rice mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of cheese.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the gratin is bubbling and the top is light golden brown.

I really liked this. My husband prefers saucy dishes so it wasn’t ‘runny’ enough for him. Great egg/broccoli/rice dish!

Thanks for sharing this recipe:) Great flavor combination, loved the crusty cheesy top and very family friendly. However, I did find it a bit dry as well. I think next time I may add a bit of chicken stock in the mix to help keep it moist.

This was really tasty, even my toddler loved it. It was just a tiny bit dry, but that may have been because I had my oven hotter than the recipe (due to baking bread at the same time). I’d make it again. Thanks.
