1 qt. milk
8 tbsp. rice
2 eggs
3/4 c. sugar

Cook rice in milk in saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until rice is plump. Beat egg yolks with 1 teaspoon water; add sugar to yolks and beat again. Add yolk-and-sugar mixture to rice and cook a few minutes, stirring. Remove from stove.

Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into rice mixture. Sprinkle nutmeg on top and place under broiler a few minutes until top is lightly browned. Refrigerate until firm.

NOTE: I use a 1 1/2 quart Corning Ware or Visions pan for this because you can cook the rice, broil, and serve all from the same pan. It is time-consuming because of all the "stirring constantly" (about 1/2 hour for the rice to cook without scalding the milk) but the taste is worth the time, and it is great to make on a chilly fall or winter afternoon when you don't mind sitting over the stove awhile!
