Cheesy Rice Delight

Cheesy Rice Delight

By emensah m

Total: 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

2

In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice and salt, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer for about 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed.

3

Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to steam.

4

Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated.

5

Gently fold in the shredded cheese until it is melted and evenly distributed throughout the rice.

6

Season with black pepper to taste and serve warm. Adjust salt according to preference if needed.
