Prepare the Oven and Dish: Start by preheating your oven to 325° F (165° C). Take a 5x7-inch baking dish and lightly grease it with butter.
Mix the Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, salt, spices, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add Peaches, Pecans, and Rice: Gently fold in the chopped peaches, pecans, and cooked rice into the mixture.
Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour this mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Prepare a Water Bath: Boil water in a kettle. Place the 5x7-inch dish inside a larger baking pan (a 9x13-inch pan works well). Carefully pour the boiling water into the larger pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the smaller dish. Tip: Using a large-rimmed baking sheet under the larger pan can make handling easier.
Bake the Pudding: Carefully place the pan in the oven. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the pudding is lightly browned and set. Caution: When removing the pudding, be mindful of the hot water bath.
Serving: Allow the pudding to cool slightly. For an added touch, top with whipped cream before serving.
