Savory Quinoa Rice Loaf

So I came across this recipe while looking for a homemade rice cake recipe(will let you know if that one works too).

This is an easy recipe for a light dinner, simple lunch or a a healthy snack.  It is baked in a loaf pan and it is highly adaptable as far as flavors go.  My version is dairy free, gluten free, wheat free and it can be made vegan easily by using flax or chia eggs.

What you need:

2 cups cooked brown rice

1 cup cooked quinoa

3 eggs. (Want to make it vegan? Try flax or chia eggs)

*the following are the ingredients I used however, you can change to any flavors your like

1 cup grape tomatos washed and halved

1 cup black beans rinsed and drained

1/2 cup frozen corn

1/2 a bell pepper chopped

1 cup Daiya mozzarella shreds

1 tbs fresh cilantro

1tsp chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste.

Grease a loaf pan and preheat your oven to 350.   Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix well.  Pour ingredients into the loaf pan, sprinkle top with some more cheese and bake for 45 min to one hour minutes until it is firm and browning around the edges.  Let cool slightly, slice to serve.  Enjoy!

Here are some alternate ingredient ideas:

Cheddar, bacon and spinacho

Broccoli, cheddar, ham

Chicken, cheese and salsa
