Instructions

Slowly bring the milk to a boil in a pot with a pinch of salt. Stir in the sugar and rice and bring to a boil again briefly.

Reduce the heat and simmer the rice pudding gently over low to medium heat for 25 to 30 minutes with the lid on. Stir regularly to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Once the rice is nice and soft and has absorbed the liquid, reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk well. Then, slowly add the eggs to the rice pudding while stirring. Continue stirring vigorously for 30 to 60 seconds to prevent the eggs from scrambling.

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cottage cheese. Then divide the rice pudding between two bowls and serve with your choice of toppings.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cottage Cheese Silk Technique 🧀
Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth before adding to ensure an ultra-creamy, lump-free texture in your rice pudding.
Rice Selection Secret 🍚
Use short-grain or medium-grain rice for optimal creaminess, as these varieties release more starch during cooking compared to long-grain rice.
Protein Boost Hack 💪
Temper the eggs by slowly whisking in a small amount of hot rice mixture to prevent curdling and ensure a silky, protein-rich pudding.
Low and Slow Magic 🔥
Simmer the rice pudding on the lowest possible heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching and develop a luxuriously creamy consistency.
Flavor Infusion Technique 🌿
Add a vanilla bean or cinnamon stick during cooking to infuse deep, complex flavor into your high-protein rice pudding.
