Rice cakes with vegetables


Last weekend, while my children were sleeping in the afternoon, I wanted to bake something sweet. But I was angry at my self, because I didn’t know what can I bake. So I started to browse in my computer looking for something suitable. And I saw these cakes. I decided to make them. I know, that they’re not sweet, but I had everything they needed in my fridge. I just didn’t make baskets out of rice, just did two layer cakes. And they tasted very good. At first I was afraid that my hubby will miss meat in them, but I was wrong :)

 

(12 cakes)

1 1/2 cup cooked rice

2 tbsps grated parmesan

1 kiaušinis

Filling:

20 g butter

50 g mushrooms, chopped

200-300 g zucchini, grated

1/2 small chopped tomato

1/2 cup ricotta or cottage cheese

1 egg

 

Coat muffin pan with butter. Mix rice with an egg and cheese. Devide rice mixture between muffins pan, press a little bit. In the sauce pan melt the butter. Braise mushrooms, zuccini and tomato till tenderness. Then take off the heat and mix in ricotta and an egg. Spread filling on the rice. Bake in 200°C preheated oven about 25 minutes, till filling will be firm the the top till be nicely brown.

Crepes stuffed with broccoli and cheese


I’m very excited when the recipe which I chose to prepare is admitted 110 percents. I wanted to make these crepes all week long, but all week I had no time to spend in the kitchen. And only this weekend the time has come :) I’m very glad that I made only half portion because if there were more than four crepes I couldn’t stop eating. The filling is so light, with the gentle taste of broccoli and very nice taste of cheese. My hubby said he wasn’t hungry but ate one crepe and was very excited :) The next time I will not make our usual crepes with cheese filling, but give a little bit more time and make these crepes.

 

(8 crepes)

For the crepes:

125 g flour

1 egg

1 egg yolk

300 ml milk

some oil for frying

salt

For the filling:

125 g broccoli

salt

black pepper

45 g butter

45 g flour

300 ml milk

1/2 tsp mustard

125 g cheese

4 eggs

To sprinkle:

2 tbsps grated parmesan

 

Mix ingredients for crepes and bake them (I baked them in 26cm diameter pan). Boil broccoli 1 minute in salted water. Melt butter, pour flour and fry mixing about 1 minute. The little by little pour milk and heat up mixing till it binds. Then take off the heat, put mustard, cheese and salt with peppers. Mix and let cool a little bit. Then mix in egg yolks. In another bowl beat egg whites till strong froth. Mix egg whites and broccoli in the sauce. Put crepes on the baking tray, divide the filling between crepes, putting it in the center. Fold edges of the crepes and sprinkle with parmesan. Bake in the preheated oven till 200°C about 15-20 minutes, until crepes filling rise and crepes become crunchy.
