Rice pie with zucchini ham and cheese, a savory pie that’s also good at room temperature and that you can vary as you like!
You can also make it with leftover white rice and if you like, you can flavor it with some saffron dissolved in a small amount of hot water or vegetable broth. The chosen cheese should be melty because it will add more flavor to the mixture and, visually speaking, it has its own appeal!
Instead of zucchini, you can use other vegetables of your choice, but remember that DEPENDING on what you choose, you may need to pre-cook them in a pan or on the grill, so … adjust the timings! Zucchini used raw like this stay slightly crunchy, and this texture is very pleasant to taste, at least for me!
I also suggest other rice-based flan recipes such as: Rice Parmigiana; Salmon and Rice Timbale; Tasty Rice, Crescenza, and Mortadella Pie; Rice Quiche; Eggplant, Feta, Rice, and Tomato Tart; Rice, Mussel, and Potato Tiella.
