Instructions

Preheat oven the 350 degrees.

Heat the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat and cook the onions for 3-5 minutes or until soft.

In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until combined.

Add the onion, broccoli, corn, rice and cheese and stir to combine.

Grease in a casserole dish and pour in the mixture (I used a 9 x 9 inch pan).

Bake for 30-40 minutes, depending on the size of your casserole dish.

Serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Rice First 🍚
Toast the brown rice in butter for 2-3 minutes before adding liquid to develop a nutty flavor and prevent mushiness in the final casserole.
Create a Creamy Base 🥛
Whisk eggs and milk together with a pinch of salt and pepper before pouring over ingredients to ensure even distribution and a silky, custard-like binding throughout.
Precook Harder Vegetables 🥦
Lightly steam or sauté broccoli and onions for 3-4 minutes before assembling to ensure they're tender by the time the casserole finishes baking, preventing undercooked vegetables.
Reserve Cheese for Topping ✨
Mix only half the cheddar into the casserole base and sprinkle the remaining half on top 10 minutes before serving for a golden, crispy cheese crust.
Test for Doneness Accurately 🔍
Insert a knife in the center—it should come out clean with no jiggling custard; if still wet, bake 5-10 minutes longer rather than relying on time alone, as variables affect cooking speed.
