Recipe View Serve immediately, garnished with extra fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy as a side dish, snack, or light meal.

For best results, use day-old cooked rice, as it tends to be drier and holds its shape better when forming the patties.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Monterey Jack, to customize the flavor profile.
If the rice mixture is too wet, add a tablespoon of breadcrumbs to help bind the patties.
These patties can also be baked in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, for a healthier option.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of sriracha mayo for added richness and flavor.
