The savory rice loaf was a surprise favorite of mine. I portioned for my own purposes, but it worked well for me according to the directions.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Mix together:
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/2 cups of cooked rice (I use the frozen stuff)
1 1/2 cups of grated cheese (the sharper the better)
1/2 cup of bread crumbs
1/4 cup of chopped celery
2 tablespoons of chopped onions (dried minced)
2 tablespoons of chopped parsley
2 tablespoons of chopped green pepper
3/4 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of milk
1/4 cup of melted margarine

Pour it all into a loaf pan (lined with wax paper if you care about presentation) and place the pan in a baking dish containing one inch of hot water and bake for one hour (loaf should be firm in the center). Loosen the edges with a spatula and turn over the dish onto a platter. The recipe suggests serving with tomato or mushroom sauce (which I skipped).

I'm all over anything with eggs and rice in it, so I enjoyed this one a lot and will make it again.
