["Preheat oven to 375", "", "NOTE: Experiment! Any or all of the elements of this can be changed. The idea is to use up what's sitting in your fridge. This, at some of my restaurants, has Italian sausage and wild mushrooms in it. At others, it was pepperoni and roasted red peppers. Use your imagination and your odds 'n' ends. Make it pretty. Season to taste.", "", "In a steel bowl, toss rice, peas, onions, and scallions. Empty can of tuna onto the top of the mix and gently mash the meat with a fork or whip until the pieces are broken up coarsely. Sprinkle all pepper jack and 2 oz. of Parmesan evenly over surface and fold gently, so cheeses don't clump. Sprinkle garlic and onion powders, dill, and pepper evenly, fold, and then add celery soup and egg whites and fold until completely mixed.", "", "In a separate bowl, mix yolks with crumbs, remaining Parm, and dressing and mix well, until the mixture is thick and pasty.", "", "Press rice mixture into a 9"" springform pan or into a pie plate and smooth top with a rubber spatula. Spread yolk mix evenly over top and then fluff lightly with the edge of the spat. Bake for 40 minutes or until top is medium brown and tort is firm (but not hard) when pressed with a spoon back.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
