| Large Eggs | 2 | |
| Sugar | 1/2 cup | |
| Raisins | 1/2 cup | or substitute with blueberries |

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F.
- In an ungreased 1 1/2 quart casserole dish, beat the eggs until well blended. Stir in the sugar, raisins (or blueberries), milk, vanilla, salt, and the hot cooked rice. Mix gently until combined.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of ground cinnamon (or your preferred spices) over the mixture.
- Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. (Overbaking may cause the pudding to curdle, but it will still taste good—the top will be very wet and not fully set.)
- After baking, stir the pudding well and let it stand for 15 minutes. This resting time allows the liquid to be absorbed, resulting in a creamy texture.
- Serve warm, or cover and refrigerate for about three hours until chilled. Top with whipped cream if desired.
