VEGETARIAN CHEESE AND NUT THANKSGIVING LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place walnuts and pecans on a baking sheet.
• Roast nuts in the preheated oven until golden and fragrant, about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and chop nuts when cool enough to handle.
• Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
• Melt butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, garlic, parsley, marjoram, and thyme; cook until mushrooms have softened, about 7 minutes.
• Add cooked rice, chopped nuts, Cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper; stir until everything is combined. Transfer mixture to the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the oven until the top is rounded and golden, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
