Ingredients

  • 2 bags Success® Brown Rice
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp canola oil, divided
  • 2 large, ripe avocados, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup prepared pico de gallo salsa
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • You probably love avocado toast for breakfast, lunch or a filling snack, but have you ever had it on a homemade rice cake? Try this version, made with rice cakes using whole Success® Brown Rice that are pan-fried to golden, crispy perfection, and you might never go back to plain toast again!

    Step 1

  • Prepare rice according to package directions. Allow to cool.

    Step 2

  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk; stir into flour mixture. Fold in cooked rice until well coated.

    Step 3

  • Using 1/3-cup measure, roll mixture into 8 portions. Form each portion into a 1/2-inch thick patty.

    Step 4

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Working in 2 batches, cook rice cakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crisp, adding remaining oil as needed.

    Step 5

  • Arrange slices of avocado evenly over rice cakes. Top each with a dollop of pico de gallo, a sprinkle of feta cheese and cilantro.

Winning Avocado Toast

If you’re one of the many who enjoy delicious and creamy avocado, you’ll love this recipe which puts a tasty spin on the classic avocado toast. Made with golden, pan-fried brown rice cakes in place of toast, this dish is hearty, satisfying, and features more nutty flavor than the original.

Make the rice cakes ahead of time and, if you have ripe avocados handy, you’ll be moments away from a tasty breakfast, lunch, or snack. Creamy, crunchy and easy to customize, this is one dish the whole family will love.

Tip To Ripen Avocado

Ripe avocados are key in any recipe calling for avocado. To speed up the ripening process, place unripe avocados in a paper bag with an apple or a banana and store in a dark place. Generally, avocados stored this way will ripen in a few days. Then, you can eat them right away or store them in the fridge for when you’re ready to make this recipe, and more.

Use this tip to prepare even more tasty recipes using avocado. Slice it over the top of a Baja Fish Taco Bowl or scoop out the flesh and save the shells to fill with Chicken Avocado Salad.
