1/2 cup reduced-fat ricotta cheese
1 egg

- Scrape the rice mixture into a 4-cup (1 litre) capacity baking dish. In the same bowl, combine the ricotta, egg and parmesan and beat with a fork until smooth. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the rice.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the rice is warmed through and the top is golden and bubbling. Rice will keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
