Cheesy Veggie Rice Bake

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

Cook the Rice: If using uncooked rice, cook it according to package instructions. Set aside to cool slightly.

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and red onion, and sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Add the broccoli, bell pepper, and grated carrot. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, sautéed vegetables, and shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Crack in the eggs and mix everything thoroughly until well combined. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Assemble the Casserole: Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle extra mozzarella cheese on top for a golden, cheesy crust.

Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden, and the casserole is set.

Serve: Let cool slightly before slicing into squares.
Enjoy.
