Chili Cheese Bites Recipe
Ingredients
CRUST
2 cups cooked brown rice or bulgur wheat
2 egg whites
FILLING
2/3 cup dry curd or nonfat cottage cheese
2/3 cup shredded nonfat or reduced-fat Cheddar or Monterey jack cheese
3/4 cup fat-free egg substitute
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, drained
1 tablespoon unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
1. To make the crust, combine the rice and egg whites in a medium-sized bowl, and stir to mix well. Coat mini-muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray. Place 1 slightly rounded teaspoonful of the rice mixture in each muffin cup, and use the back of a spoon to press the rice against the bottom and halfway up the sides of the cup.
2. To make the filling, combine the filling ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, and stir to mix well. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in each rice crust.
3. Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes, or until the bites are puffed and the filling is set. A sharp knife inserted in the filling should come out clean.
