Just like many of you, I was raised by my abuelita and among other things, that means that I recycle everything I can in my kitchen because I grew up hearing that throwing food was a sin. Today, my recipe is a delicious savory rice pudding with cheese which that is prepared, in the twinkling of an eye, with leftover rice from the previous day. My kids love it, it's easy to cook, and is rich in protein because it has eggs, cream, cheese, and butter. I hope you like my recipe.

Rice pudding with cheese
Yield 6 servings
Ingredients:

2 cups of leftover rice from the previous day
3 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup of heavy cream
1 cup of your choice of grated cheese
Butter for greasing baking dish

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350°F. With the butter, grease a shallow baking dish.

Mix the eggs with the cream and cheese in a bowl. Add the rice and combine.

Pour into the baking dish and bake for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the pudding comes out clean.
