Rice casserole

Cookinero 26 Apr 2025

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

Rice casserole

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

Rice casserole

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.

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.
