Ham and Ricotta Baked Rice
Savory ham and nutty brown rice baked with a creamy ricotta-egg white mixture and fresh spinach for a satisfyingly golden and protein-packed meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz diced lean ham
0.25 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
0.25 cup egg whites
0.5 cup cooked brown rice
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish with a touch of olive oil.
In a small skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and sauté the fresh baby spinach until just wilted, then remove from heat.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the part-skim ricotta cheese, egg whites, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Gently fold the diced lean ham, cooked brown rice, and sautéed spinach into the ricotta mixture until everything is evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
