Tips:

  • Use day-old rice. This will help the rice stay firm and not get mushy in the bake.
  • Don't overcook the eggs. You want them to be cooked through but still slightly runny in the center.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give the bake a more complex flavor.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. This could include vegetables, meat, or seafood.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

A cheesy egg and rice bake is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying casserole that the whole family will enjoy.
