Quick & Easy Rice Pudding

Don't throw away leftover rice! Save it to make this Quick and Easy Rice Pudding that will be a big hit with the whole family.

 

I had a ton of rice leftover from a meal and I was trying to rack my brain over what I should do with it. And then I remembered that over the summer we had gone to visit friends that we knew from Georgia who were living up in Northern California. While there we had rice pudding one night for dessert and it was big hit. So I decided to try to use the leftover rice to make rice pudding.

Now this isn’t quite as creamy as if you were to make it the real way but it was still really yummy and everyone gobbled it down with no complaints. And I am always up for a new way to use up leftovers other than just freezing them.

    Made this for breakfast this morning with combo of white and brown rice I had leftover. I did cook for a couple minutes after adding the egg because I was a little worried about it not cooking. Also added raisins after done cooking. So yummy!!!

  2. Would you please explain what “Jean until mixture beings to simmer and reduce heat to low. ” means.

    Thank you,

    1. Wow! Thanks so much for catching that awesome typo! Whoops! I updated the recipe. Instead of Jean substitute the word cook! Thanks so much!

    1. Hm, I’ve never thought of how to describe how it tastes. It’s definitely warm and comforting with a sweet cinnamon and sugar taste. The best thing that comes to my mind is the cinnamon and brown sugar oatmeal you get. Same kind of flavors but more creamy and rice not oatmeal. Does that help or just confuse? LOL.
