Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked white rice, diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, onion, garlic, corn kernels, and chopped fresh parsley. Stir well to combine.
-
Add the Creole seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper to the rice mixture. Mix until the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Stir in the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky and hold its shape when pressed together.
-
Add the beaten eggs to the rice mixture and stir until everything is fully incorporated. The eggs will help bind the ingredients together to form the snack cakes.
-
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. While the oil is heating, shape the rice mixture into small patties, about 1/4 cup each, and place them on a plate.
-
Carefully place the rice patties in the skillet, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding. Cook the snack cakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
-
Once cooked, transfer the Creole Rice Snack Cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
-
Serve the snack cakes warm, garnished with extra chopped parsley or a dollop of sour cream for added richness. These tasty treats are best enjoyed fresh and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
