A traditional recipe from Piedmontese cuisine, simple to make and flavorful for the palate. The “Piedmontese style rice flan” is served with “finanziera” or with meat ragù or veal stew.

Servings: 4 persone
Ingredients
- 300 gr Rice
- 35 gr Butter
- 3 nr Eggs
- 4 cucchiai Grana cheese grated
- 3/4 litro Milk

- qb Salt
- qb Pepper

- 15 gr Butter

Instructions
- Bring the milk to a boil in a saucepan.

- Pour the rice into a bowl, add the salt and butter and let cool, stirring occasionally.
- Add the nutmeg, Grana cheese, pepper, and the three egg yolks.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff and then fold into the rice. Mix well.

- Remove the flan from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Unmold onto a serving plate and pour the "finanziera" cooked separately into the center.
- Serve at the table.
