How to Make Rice Custard

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a two-quart casserole dish, lightly beat 4 large eggs with a whisk or fork.
  3. Stir in 1 cup cooked rice, 1 cup milk (or a combination of milk and coconut milk), 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  4. Sprinkle an additional pinch of nutmeg over the top.
  5. Place the casserole dish into a larger baking pan.
  6. Place the baking pan on the oven rack.
  7. Pour boiling water into the baking pan until it comes halfway up the sides of the casserole dish.
  8. Bake for 1 hour and 25 minutes, gently stirring once after the first 30 minutes.
  9. Check for doneness: Insert a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
