Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbs prepared basil pesto
  • 3 cups cooked medium grain white rice
  • 2/3 cup grated asiago cheese
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto (Italian cured ham), chopped
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 Tbs olive oil

Directions

  • Combine mayonnaise and pesto in small bowl; refrigerate. Combine rice, cheese, eggs, prosciutto and pepper in large bowl and mix well. Shape into 20 patties, about 1 1/2-inches in diameter. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Saute half the patties 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown; remove from pan. Cook remaining patties, using additional oil, if needed. Serve with pesto aioli sauce.
