Notes
- Ingredient Flexibility: Feel free to experiment with different types of broth or rice to suit your dietary preferences. Vegetable broth makes a great substitute for beef broth for a vegetarian version, while basmati or jasmine rice can add a new dimension to the dish.
- Make It a Meal: Though excellent as a side, you can easily turn French Onion Soup Rice into a hearty main dish. Consider stirring in some sautéed mushrooms, cooked chicken, or beef chunks after baking, for an all-in-one meal.
- Flavor Enhancer: For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a splash of white wine to the rice before baking. This will introduce a subtle acidity that balances the richness of the onions and broth.
- Storage Tips: If you find yourself with leftovers, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavors often deepen over time, making the reheated dish even more delicious.
- Reheating: When reheating, add a little broth or water to prevent the rice from drying out. This will help maintain its creamy texture and rich flavor.
