Cinnamon Rice Pudding Casseroles Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup white rice
• 2 cups water
• 3 cups milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease eight individual ramekins or a large casserole dish.
2. In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice and salt, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 18-20 minutes or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
3. Stir in the milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 10-12 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly.
4. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Gradually add a ladleful of the hot rice mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly. Add the egg mixture back to the saucepan, stirring constantly. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
5. Stir in the raisins (if using).
6. Pour the rice pudding mixture into the prepared ramekins or casserole dish.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Serve warm.
