Healthier Creamy Rice Pudding

1 ½ cups water

¾ cup uncooked brown rice

1 ½ cups low-fat milk

⅓ cup white sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup low-fat milk

1 egg, beaten

⅔ cup raisins

1 tablespoon butter

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine water and rice over high heat in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 45 minutes.

Combine cooked rice, 1 1/2 cups milk, sugar, and salt in a clean saucepan. Cook over medium heat until thick and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup milk, beaten egg, and raisins. Cook 2 minutes more, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract. Serve warm.
