- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and eggs. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 2
Add the all-purpose flour, salt, and ground black pepper to the rice mixture. Stir until the flour is fully incorporated and the mixture holds together.

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the rice cakes into the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
