| | Fat Free Holiday Chili Cheese Bites
2 cups of cooked brown rice or bulgur wheat
2 egg whites
Filling
2/3 cup of dry curd or nonfat cottage cheese
2/3 cup of shredded nonfat or reduced fat Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
3/4 cup of fat free egg substitute
1 can ( 4 ounces) of chopped green chilies, drained
1 tablespoon of unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon of ground black pepper
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 mixture against the bottom and halfway up the sides of the cup.
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.
Bake at 350ºF. for 25 minutes or until the bites are puffed and filling is set. A sharp knife inserted in the filling should come out clean. Transfer to a serving platter, and serve hot.
