Make It Your Own.

This recipe is amazing as is, but if you’re feeling extra fancy, here are some ways to switch things up:

1. Rice Varieties: Go wild with the grains! Basmati adds a floral aroma, while brown rice brings a nutty flavor and extra fiber.

2. Cheese, Please: Want to add some cheesy goodness? Toss in some Gruyère, shaved Asiago, or Swiss just before that second bake. The cheese melts into the rice, making it gooey, rich, and sinfully perfect.

3. Herb It Up: Fresh thyme, basil, or chives will brighten up your French Onion Soup Rice.

4. Veggie Upgrades: Toss in some cooked mushrooms, spinach, or caramelized onions to give it extra texture and nutritional oomph.

ProTips for Maximum Rice Glory:

- Cold Butter is key for those deliciously rich pockets of flavor throughout the dish.

- Broil the dish for a couple of minutes at the end if you like crispy rice edges (and who doesn’t?!). Just keep a close eye on it so it doesn’t turn into French Onion Burnt Rice.

- Garnish: Fresh parsley is great, but don’t be afraid to get extra with grated cheese or a drizzle of truffle oil if you’re feeling fancy.

Cook Time: 50 min.; Total Time: 55 min.; Servings: 10
