Instructions
Simple and delicious, these Rice Cakes with Goat Cheese and Bacon are perfect for an elegant weeknight dinner or your next get-together. Once you try them, you’ll want to make these again and again.
Step 1
Prepare rice according to package directions.
Step 2
Cook bacon in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of drippings from skillet. Add onions to skillet and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and reserve.
Step 3
Combine buttermilk, 2 ounces of goat cheese, flour, egg, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Stir in cooked rice and reserved onions.
Step 4
Heat skillet over medium heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Working in batches, drop batter by spoonfuls into skillet. Cook until bottom of each cake is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Turn cakes over and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
Step 5
To serve, top rice cakes with remaining goat cheese. Garnish with bacon and green onions.
Recipe Tip
For evenly-sized rice cakes, use an ice-cream scoop to portion the patties.
