How to Make Kittencal's Spinach Parmesan Rice Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Generously grease an 11x7 inch baking dish.
  3. Cook 2 cups of rice according to package directions. Let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed dry), 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup butter, 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional). Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and set. For extra cheesy goodness, top with remaining mozzarella cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Leftovers freeze beautifully! To freeze, prepare the recipe as directed but do not bake. Wrap the pan tightly in plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, remove the wrapping, and bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through.
