A delightful savory rice bake with cheddar and herbs, perfect for a comforting meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, parsley, scallions, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Mix gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a blender, blend the silken tofu, plain milk, ground pepper, mixed dried herbs, and hot sauce until smooth.
Blend until the mixture is creamy and lump-free.
Combine the tofu blend with the rice mixture and mix thoroughly.
Ensure the tofu mixture coats the rice evenly.
Pour the combined mixture into a greased baking dish.
Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly in the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until set and golden on top.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Let the bake cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
Allowing the dish to rest enhances the flavors.
