For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of cardamom or nutmeg to the rice while it's cooking. Make sure your egg whites are at room temperature for maximum volume when whipping the meringue. Watch the meringue carefully while baking to prevent burning. If it starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent the dish with foil.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large saucepan, bring milk to a gentle boil over medium heat. Stir in rice and salt, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until rice is tender and most of the milk has been absorbed. (Approximately 18 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract until light and smooth. Gently temper the egg mixture by slowly whisking in 1 cup of the hot rice mixture until well combined. (5 minutes)
04
StepPour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining rice. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Then, pour the rice pudding into the prepared casserole dish. (3 minutes)
05
StepIn a clean, dry glass or metal bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add 3 tablespoons of sugar, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat. (7 minutes)
06
StepGently spread the meringue evenly over the rice pudding, ensuring it reaches the edges of the dish to seal it. (3 minutes)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven until the meringue is golden brown and lightly toasted, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. (15 minutes)
