Portuguese Sweet Rice

Portuguese Sweet Rice is a stovetop rice pudding with a velvety finish, where warm milk and sugar gently cook the grains until tender before eggs are whisked in for richness. It tastes softly sweet and custardy with a comforting, homestyle feel. Serve it warm for dessert or an afternoon treat.
