BAKED RICE PUDDING WITH APRICOTS

There are many ways to make rice pudding: on the stove, baked in the oven or a combination of the two. You can make the custard separate from the rice and combine them after and it can be so many different kinds of custards. The nice thing about a baked one is you can make it the night before to enjoy for a special breakfast the next day. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if you like.

3/4 cup uncooked short grain white rice
2 cups milk, divided
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 egg

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your baked rice pudding. Use fresh apricots, full-fat milk, and creamy butter.
  • Don't overcook the rice. The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy.
  • Let the rice pudding cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set properly.
  • Serve the rice pudding with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include fresh fruit, whipped cream, and nuts.
