• Servings: 6
• 1 cup rice
• 4 cups milk
• 4 eggs
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg

Recipe

• 1 fill bottom of double boiler with water, leaving enough room for water to simmer without touching the top pot. bring to a gentle simmer over a medium-low heat.
• 2 pour milk and rice in top of double boiler. cover and nest into bottom of double boiler.
• 3 cook for 45 minutes or until rice is done. not all of the milk will be absorbed. remove from stove top.
• 4 in a bowl, beat eggs until well-combined.
• 5 temper the eggs by stirring a spoonful or two of the hot rice into beaten eggs. mix quickly until completely blended. once the eggs are slightly warmed, continue to add hot rice until about a third of the pot is now in the bowl with the eggs. this tempering will give you the rich flavor of the eggs without a scrambled egg consistency.
• 6 pour egg and rice mixture back into the pot. mix well.
• 7 stir in sugar, vanilla and nutmeg.
