Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 40 mins

Ingredients:
2 cups glutinous rice flour
1 cup sugar plus 1 tablespoon for dusting
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup evaporated or fresh milk
3 eggs
3 to 4 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, 1 cup of the sugar, coconut milk, evaporated milk, and eggs.

2. Whisk together until batter is well-blended and smooth.

3. Generously grease an 11 x 9 baking dish or 10-inch cast-iron skillet with margarine or butter. Pour rice batter and tightly cover with foil.

4. Bake in a 350 F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until mixture is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

5. Take out from oven and remove foil. The sides of the rice will be puffed up, just push them down a little to subside. Generously brush the top with margarine.

6. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and cheese.

7. Return to oven and bake for another 4 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and the top is golden. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before slicing.
