Ingredients

  • 1.5 spoons Butter, unsalted

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 250 g Rice, white, long grain

  • 300 g Carrot, fresh

  • 3 pods Garlic, fresh

  • 1 teaspoon Salt, table

  • pieces Spices, pepper, white

  • 2 piece Egg, fresh

  • 200 ml Sweet cream

  • 200 g Cheese, Gouda

  • pieces Butter, unsalted

Steps

  1. Peel the onion and garlic, then finely chop them separately. In a large pot, melt the butter and sauté the chopped onion until golden. Add the rice, chopped garlic, and frozen vegetables, and stir-fry everything for a few minutes (until the rice becomes translucent). Pour in water and season with a teaspoon of salt. Cook over medium heat until the rice softens. Add more water if needed.

  2. Once the rice is cooked, remove the pot from the heat and drain any excess liquid if necessary. Let the rice cool slightly, then mix in the eggs, cream, and half of the grated cheese. Season with pepper and any other desired spices. Add a little more salt if needed.

  3. Transfer the rice mixture into a greased deep casserole dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface and sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top. Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30 to 40 minutes. It’s done when the top turns golden brown and crispy.

  4. Remove the baked casserole from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes to set. When ready to serve, cut it into slices and serve with a bowl of your favorite salad.
