Preparation:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, Whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla.

set aside.

In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and rice, whisking frequently so the milk doesn't burn. Bring to a slow simmer.

Add egg mixture to the milk and rice ,

cook for just a few minutes, whisking occasionally.

Pour into 8-9 inch casserole or baking dish sprayed with oil.

(makes it easier to clean later)

and bake for 20 minutes.

@dcravey1 ~ Sorry so slow on the reply. My notices are not getting to me for some reason. So now I'm officially snack happy since reading this recipe. I'm going to have to give THIS a try next time I *accidentally* over make rice! Hehehehe!

Thanks!

* 2 cups milk (I used 1cup canned Coconut milk & 1cup Rice milk.)

* 1-1/4 cup leftover pre-cooked rice

* 2 eggs (I used 2 Yolks because I have an egg white issue)

* 1/4 cup sugar ( I use 1/4 cup or so Raw Agave)

* 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

* 1/3 tsp cinnamon (or spice you like -to taste)

* 1/2 cup raisins, cranberries or cherries...or whatever you like...

Our family is Dairy and Gluten free, so we use leftover rice from the rice cooker to make rice pudding. The trick is to use COCONUT MILK with any other dairy free milk. Also, to make it more Diabetic / Hypoglycemic friendly, use Brown Rice and RAW agave. If egg whites are an issue, you can use the yolks

(be sure to remove yolk by hand not with shell, because you can get up to 1/4 egg white left behind!

@Oreocremerocks - Okay now I'm going to have to make a LIST for my left-over rice ideas! These are GREAT tips!

Something previously wearing feathers!! Hahaha!!!

The thought (and smells) of all of that together is making me HUNGRY!!!

Thank you! I may make extra rice on purpose now!! (o:

@thewheatguy I also do an Orange Juice version, that is either paired with fresh grated ginger to taste, or your favorite mulling spices. When I do the mulling spices, I like to tuck this left over rice into the freezer for the next time Im going to bake something previously wearing feathers, and mix into the stuffing mix, I treat it as part of the bread cubes, since its usually pretty dry after being in the freezer, but the flavor is still there in concentrate and moves through the whole bird=)

[Oreocremerocks]

@thewheatguy You are most welcome=) Want another one that is a favorite of me and the hubby? I will cook my rice in half apple juice and half water, a dash of cinnamon, a nice change up side dish, then this leftover rice becomes breakfast cereal the next day, warm milk and the usual susupects. Or It gets frozen in milk, and becomes the best rice pudding ever on that next chilly rainy day!

@Oreocremerocks - Nice extra tips! Thank you for sharing those!! Gonna try a few of them myself!

Best Blessings!
