My husband and I devoured these in minutes. They were super easy and one of the best things I've ever made 😍 I used Italian style panko bread crumbs and it made them even crispier. Absolutely will make this again!

I left out the bacon and added salt/pepper, parsley, chives, smoked paprika and garlic along with the cheeses for more flavour. I also added some of my tomato sauce to the rice mixture so it wasn’t too dry. Would recommend adding an extra egg. It would be too dry without the extra. They turned out well !
