Cook the rice if it is not already done. Slice the zucchini. Preheat the oven. Fold the rice with the eggs & mustard. Place in the buttered pan. Top with the zucchini slices and cheese. While it bakes, chop up the tomatoes, basil and garlic. Toss the sauce together. Serve slices of the rice casserole with the fresh Tomato Sauce on top.
There are several methods for preparing rice. Brown rice especially is a bit more time consuming as it still contains the nutrient packed outer grain. This recipe contains three different methods for preparing brown rice. Try them out and stick with the one that produces the rice just the way you like it.
These methods can work for long, short, medium or other types of brown rice.
In college, my two dearest friends introduced me to Cheese & Mustard Delights that we toasted up in their dorm room with a heavy layer of bright yellow mustard & cheese on toast. It was melty, gooey, heaven. I took this idea and tossed it with rice and a layer of zucchini slices. Starting with leftover rice means this comes together quick to bake up into a simple casserole that kids will gobble up.
This simple topping is a match made in Italian heaven. On toast, pasta, chicken, steak, eggs, veggies this topping will take anything to a new delicious level.
