Instructions:

Cook the Rice: In a saucepan, cook the rice until tender. Once cooked, drain any excess water and set aside.
-
Prepare the Spinach: Steam the spinach until just wilted. Rinse under cold water and drain thoroughly. Finely chop the spinach and set aside.
-
Saute the Onion: Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, chopped spinach, sautΓ©ed onion, chopped fresh dill, and grated cheese.
-
Prepare the Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and eggs until well combined. Pour this mixture over the rice and spinach mixture, stirring until everything is evenly coated.
-
Layer in the Pan: Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature. Grease a 9-inch baking pan and spread the rice mixture evenly into it. Arrange the chopped tomatoes on top of the rice mixture, then sprinkle with extra cheese for that deliciously cheesy topping.
-
Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for about 30 minutes, or until the mixture is set and the top is lightly browned.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the tomato rice slice from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing into squares or wedges. Serve warm as a main dish or a delightful side.
