This is a great recipe if you like spinach and feta cheese. The times I've made it for other people, they really enjoyed this unusual rice dish. I used white rice in this recipe that was freshly made for the recipe, but I think that leftover rice would work too. I also used Kraft Parmesan cheese, but think that freshly grated Parmesan would be even better. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons butter |
3/4 cup onion, chopped |
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 1/2 cups skim milk |
2 cups long-grain rice, cooked |
3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
2 large egg whites |
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained |
olive oil flavored cooking spray |
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Add chopped onion and saute for 3 minutes.
4. Stir in flour, salt and pepper.
5. Gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk until well blended.
6. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook for 1 minute or until slightly thick, stirring constantly.
7. Remove skillet from heat and stir in the cooked rice, feta cheese, egg, egg whites and spinach.
8. Pour mixture into a 9 inch pie plate coated with cooking spray.
9. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over pie.
10. Bake for 35 minutes or until set.
11. Broil for 2 minutes or until pie is golden brown.
