Ingredients

  • 1 9 inch pie crust
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the 1 pie crust into a 9 inch tart pan, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess. Prick the bottom with a fork.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the 3 large eggs, 0.5 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 0.25 teaspoon salt until well combined and slightly frothy.

  3. 3

    Stir in the 1 cup cooked rice and 2 cups milk until everything is evenly distributed. The mixture will be thin, but that's okay.

  4. 4

    Pour the custard mixture into the prepared crust. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet to catch any spills.

  5. 5

    Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the custard is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center. A knife inserted near the center should come out mostly clean.

  6. 6

    Let the tart cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
