Leftover rice? Turn it into a savoury rice waffle!

Cooked a bit too much rice again... enough for a whole family when it was just for one? Sounds familiar! Leftover rice is a classic in the fridge – but luckily, it’s also incredibly versatile. With a little creativity (and your FRITEL WaffleTastic), you can turn it into something surprisingly delicious in no time.

Leftover Cooking

Recipe: Savoury rice waffle with cheese & veggies

Perfect for lunch, as a snack or side dish – and ideal for using up leftover veggies too!

What do you need? (makes 2 to 3 waffles)

250 g cooked (cooled) rice
1 egg
2 handfuls of grated cheese (e.g. Emmental or cheddar)
1 small grated carrot or some finely chopped bell pepper
1 spring onion or some chopped chives
Pepper, salt, and optionally curry or paprika powder
Optional: extra herbs like parsley or dried oregano

How to make it:

Mix all ingredients together into a firm, sticky mixture.
Preheat your FRITEL WaffleTastic and grease the plates lightly.
Spoon some of the rice mixture into the waffle maker and close the lid.
Bake the waffles for about 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm – great with leftover dip, hummus, or a fresh salad!

Variation ideas:

Add bits of ham, bacon or leftovers for a non-vegetarian twist.
Want an Asian flavour? Try soy sauce, spring onion and sesame oil.
Only have plain rice? Go sweet instead: add a little sugar, cinnamon and banana!
