Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

US - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and lightly butter a 5x7-inch baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Stir in the peaches, pecans, and cooked rice.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
  • Boil water in a kettle. Place the baking dish inside a larger pan (like a 9x13-inch pan), then pour the boiling water into the outer pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the smaller dish—this is called a water bath and helps the pudding cook evenly.
    Tip: Place the larger pan on a rimmed baking sheet for easier handling.
  • Carefully transfer to the oven and bake for 50–55 minutes, until the pudding is set and lightly browned. Use caution when removing—it will be hot.
  • Let cool slightly. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • Use Any Cooked Rice: White, brown, jasmine, or basmati rice all work well. Just make sure it's fully cooked before adding.
  • Break Up Clumps: If using cold or leftover rice, break up any clumps with your hands or a fork for even mixing.
  • Double Easily: To make a larger batch, double the ingredients and use an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  • Watch the Water Bath: Be careful when handling the hot water bath—use oven mitts and place the pan on a baking sheet for extra stability.
 
How To Toast Pecans:
Pour 1/4 cup of chopped pecans into a small skillet over medium heat and stir the nuts in the pan until they are lightly toasted, about 3-5 minutes.
