Breakfast Rice

Here’s a quick and easy breakfast that’s also hot and delicious. In addition, it’s a great way to deal with leftover rice.

I like to think of this recipe as an alternative to oatmeal or cream of wheat. And I have been known to have it for lunch, as well as for breakfast. Keep the butter, milk and sugar within reason and its pretty OK on the health-o-meter! (smile)

This one is all about personal preference. Use as much – or as little – of each ingredient as you choose.

Ingredients:

1-2 cups leftover rice
butter (or margarine)
milk or half-and-half
sugar – white or brown
cinnamon (optional)

Getting it Done:

Heat butter in pan until melted.

Add milk or half-and-half and heat.

Add sugar – and cinnamon, if using – stir to blend.

Add rice, stirring to break up any clumps.

Bring to low boil, then simmer for a few minutes.

For thicker consistency, allow to simmer a bit longer until rice absorbs more moisture.

Dress with small pat of butter, drizzle of milk and sprinkle of sugar or cinnamon. Serve immediately.

There you have it – a great hot breakfast that’s easy to make and fun to eat. Try it out, then leave me a comment to tell me if you adjusted anything, OK?

And, until next time, remember to Play With Your Food!
