Ingredients
4 Large eggs
1% low-fat milk
½ cup Sugar
1 cup Crushed pineapple, undrained
½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon Ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
3 cup Cooked rice
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or oil.
In a large bowl, whisk together the 4 eggs, milk, and sugar until well combined.
Stir in the undrained crushed pineapple, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
Fold in the cooked rice until all the rice is coated with the egg mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the center is set and a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean (the internal temperature should reach 160°F).
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Comments
Every ingredient is a standard supermarket stock at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, ALDI, or Kroger—no special stops needed. The dish runs about $1.50 to $2.00 per serving depending on rice choice and pineapple form (canned is cheaper than fresh), making it genuinely budget-friendly for a family bake. The stated 70 minutes is honest if you account for prep and baking, though rice type matters: use quick-cook or leftover rice to stay on schedule, since cooking raw rice from scratch will blow the time. This is a forgiving casserole that holds well after baking and reheats gently, though it's best eaten within a day and can turn dry if overheated; it's a solid Sunday dinner or potluck dish that doesn't demand constant attention.
