Elegant yet simple to prepare, these crispy rice cakes are perfect for barbecues, potlucks, and other warm-weather get-togethers.
Step 1
Prepare rice according to package directions. Allow it to cool.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine rice with salt and pepper. Take a portion of rice and shape it into small, flat cakes (about 1/2 inch thick).
Step 3
In a medium nonstick pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Place cakes in the pan and cook for 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat until all of the rice is used.
Step 4
On each rice cake, lay a slice of prosciutto followed by a peach slice. Add a few pieces of basil, and drizzle with balsamic glaze, if using.
