   • Start by gathering all the ingredients required for this recipe.
   • Cook the rice according to package instructions until it’s tender and fluffy.
   • Grate the sharp cheddar cheese and set it aside.

2. Mixing the Ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, all-purpose flour, and butter. Stir well until everything is evenly incorporated.

3. Adding Flavor:

   • Crack the eggs into the bowl with the rice mixture.
   • Add the grated sharp cheddar cheese, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt.

4. Shaping the Croquettes:

   • Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until you have a uniform mixture.
   • With clean hands, shape the mixture into small balls, ensuring they are compact and hold together well.

5. Coating:

   • Roll each rice ball in breadcrumbs until they are fully coated. This will give them a crispy exterior when fried.

6. Frying:

   • Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat.
   • Once the oil is hot, carefully add the rice croquettes, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
   • Fry the croquettes until they are golden brown and crispy, which should take about 2 minutes per batch.
   • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried croquettes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil.

7. Serving:

   • Serve the Rice Croquettes immediately while they are still hot and crispy.
   • You can enjoy them on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor.

Recipe Notes:

• For an extra kick of spice, you can adjust the amount of cayenne pepper according to your preference.
• These Rice Croquettes are best enjoyed fresh and hot, so try to serve them immediately after frying for the ultimate taste experience.
• Feel free to get creative with the cheese choice. While sharp cheddar adds a rich flavor, you can experiment with different types of cheese to suit your taste buds.
