white rice
whole milk
granulated sugar
ground cinnamon
nutmeg
vanilla extract
eggs
raisins

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).Rinse the uncooked rice thoroughly under cold water.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and milk. Bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
Once the milk begins to boil, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Let it simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender and the mixture thickens.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Gradually add a small amount of the hot rice mixture to the beaten eggs while whisking constantly. This process, known as tempering, prevents the eggs from scrambling when added to the hot mixture.
Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rice pudding, stirring continuously. This helps thicken the pudding further and creates a smooth consistency. Add raisins if desired.
Grease a 2-quart baking dish or casserole dish with cooking spray or butter. Transfer the rice pudding mixture into the prepared dish.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes or until the pudding is set and the top begins to lightly brown.
Once done, remove the sweet rice casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Optionally, sprinkle ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top for garnish.
Serve the sweet rice casserole warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
