Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 3 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 cup raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Gradually add the milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to the egg mixture. Whisk well until fully combined.

Step 4

Stir in the cooked rice and raisins (if using) into the liquid mixture, ensuring the rice is evenly distributed.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and dot the top with small pieces of the butter.

Step 6

Bake the pudding in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden and the pudding is set (a knife inserted in the center should come out clean).

Step 7

Let the rice pudding cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. It can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled, depending on your preference.
