Time 15m

Yield 4 1/2 Cup servings, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 cups cooked brown rice
1 cup nonfat milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup butter (we use butter spray to save on fat) or 1/4 cup margarine (we use butter spray to save on fat)
1/4-1/2 cup raisins (depending on your taste) or 1/4-1/2 cup chopped apple (depending on your taste)
1/4 cup slivered almonds (optional)

Steps:

Combine all ingredients (except egg) in heavy sauce pan. Bring to a boil on medium high heat. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 7-10 minutes or until flavors are blended and rice has absorbed most of the liquid. Slowly add the beaten egg, stirring continuously so the egg does not "scramble". Simmer 2-3 minutes more. Serve either warm or cold. A little cream on top makes it extra rich!
