Sweet rice casserole is one of the healthy dessert options, and for some, a pleasant childhood memory. It is baked in the oven, so it does not contain excess fat and oil. This casserole is rich in microelements due to the rice, eggs, and milk in its composition. This dish is quite nutritious and filling, so it is suitable for breakfast.

How to cook Rice casserole

Step 1

Prepare the rice. Cook the rice in salted water until half cooked, about 10 minutes. Then put the rice in a sieve or colander and let the water drain. Then return the rice to the pan and pour in the milk. Cook the rice porridge over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 2

Combine rice with the remaining ingredients and put in the oven. Beat eggs with sugar until foamy. Pour them into the slightly cooled porridge and stir. Put the resulting mixture in a form greased with butter and bake in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 25-30 minutes.

Rice casserole - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

How long can I store leftover rice casserole in the refrigerator?

Leftover rice casserole can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Can I make this recipe vegetarian?

What can I serve with rice casserole for a complete meal?

Rice casserole pairs well with a fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, or grilled chicken for added protein. It can also be enjoyed as a standalone dish.

Can I freeze the rice casserole for later?

Yes, you can freeze the casserole before or after baking. Wrap it tightly in foil or store in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

How can I make this recipe lower in sugar?

Reduce the sugar quantity or substitute with a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. You can also omit sugar entirely for a savory version by adding herbs and cheese.

Can I double the recipe for a larger crowd?

Yes, simply double all the ingredients and use a larger baking dish. Keep an eye on the baking time, as it may need an additional 5-10 minutes.

Why is the rice precooked before adding milk?

Precooking the rice in water ensures it absorbs the milk evenly later, resulting in a creamier texture without becoming mushy.
