I’ve been searching for a great leftover-rice recipe all my life! Lol And this is it.

What an interesting recipe! I enjoyed it as a novelty, having never had anything like it before. It's a good use of leftover rice, but I don't know exactly where it fits in the grand scheme of things. I will make it again, but I don't know when. I probably will omit the pepper and basil and turn it into a sweet dish as another reviewer suggested.

Great, quick recipe. I subbed applesauce for the egg and soy milk for dairy milk, and used very light layer of spray canola oil vs butter all to cut calories and avoid dairy. They tasted great!

I usually give my leftover rice to the birds however this Recipe is Exceptional! I've found it's delicious with maple syrup along with whipped cream. I would however omit the Pepper and Basil if you were to try that.

This could be a good recipe, except when I double the portion, 2 eggs are too much. I recommend 1 egg for 1 cup of rice.

Thanks Lowe! This made for a nice, simple snack. I sprinkled a little cinnamon over mine.
