Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 4 egg yolks, room temperature
• 4 cups milk
• 4 egg whites, room temperature
• ½ cup long grain rice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Bring milk to a boil in a large saucepan. Stir rice and salt into milk, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring frequently, until rice is tender, about 18 minutes.

Step 4

Beat egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, butter, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until combined. Stir 1 cup of the hot rice mixture into egg mixture until well-mixed.

Step 5

Pour egg mixture into rice mixture in the saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens, about 1 minute. Pour into prepared casserole dish.

Step 6

Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add 3 tablespoons sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks. Spread egg white mixture over rice mixture, ensuring that egg whites are spread to the edges of the casserole dish.
