This creamy baked rice pudding is a comforting dessert with a delightful texture and a hint of sweetness from golden raisins.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Whisk thoroughly to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
Stir in the cooked rice and golden raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Use a spatula to gently fold in the rice and raisins without breaking the grains.
Pour the mixture into a buttered 2-quart casserole dish.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Place the casserole dish in a larger baking pan and fill the pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the casserole dish.
The water bath helps to cook the pudding gently and evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring gently after the first 30 minutes.
Stirring prevents the rice from settling and ensures a uniform texture.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Allowing the pudding to cool enhances its flavor and makes it easier to serve.
Serve warm or chilled, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream.
Adding a garnish elevates the presentation and adds extra flavor.
