Step 3: Next, in an ovenproof dish, add the rice mixture and spread it evenly throughout the dish. Add the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese, and bake the rice in the oven until golden brown (if your oven does not have a broiler setting, set it to 220 ºC / 430 °F with the heat on top, and when you see that the surface of the rice is golden brown, it is ready). Remove the rice gratin from the oven and serve.
