Preparation duration: 10 minutes

Cooking duration: 25 minutes

 

Ingredients:

About 2 cups frozen chopped broccoli

2 eggs

Fresh ground pepper

About 2 cups pre-cooked leftover rice (I used Basmati)

1 teaspoon Red Robin Seasoning

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Equipment:

muffin tray

oven

mixing bowl

microwave

kitchen towels

bowl

whisk

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.Put the broccoli in a medium microwave safe mixing bowl, cover and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir, then cover and microwave another minute. If the broccoli is fully thawed at this point, stop. If not, stir and put it back in for another minute in the microwave. Use a clean tea towel to squeeze out the excess moisture.Add the rice to the bowl and, if the rice is cold, microwave for a couple minutes to warm it up, stopping to stir everything together and make sure everything gets nice and warm. If the rice is already hot, just add it to the bowl and stir it into the broccoli. Add the shredded cheese and stir to mix. The cheese should start to melt a bit and hold the rice mixture together.In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with the seasoning and pepper until well beaten. Pour the eggs into the broccoli mixture and stir to mix. Scoop into the prepared muffin tin, dividing the mixture relatively evenly between the 12 spots. Sprinkle each one with a little more cheddar cheese.Bake at 350 F for about 25 minutes or until the cheese on top is melted and the rice starts to get a little crunchy. Enjoy while they're hot!

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
