Tuna Rice Puff

"My sisters and I love this dish and it has been a favorite now for 30 years! I hope it brings you as much joy as it has us!"

Ingredients :

2/3 cup uncooked white rice
1 1/3 cups water
1/3 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups milk
2 egg yolks
1 (12 ounce) can tuna, undrained
2 tablespoons grated onion
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 egg whites

Instructions :

Prep : 35M	Cook : 6M	Ready in : 1H15M

Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour, salt, and pepper; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk the milk into the flour mixture, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture has thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Whisk the egg yolks slightly in a medium bowl. Gradually pour a steady stream of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, until you have whisked in about half of the milk mixture. Return the egg yolk mixture to the saucepan with the remaining milk, and whisk until smooth. Cook 2 more minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir the rice, tuna, onion, and lemon juice into the milk mixture.
Beat egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape; set aside.
Gently fold in the egg whites until evenly blended, then pour into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole has puffed slightly, is golden brown, and has set in the center, about 40 minutes.

Notes :

You may use 2 cups cooked rice in this recipe (instead of cooking it), if you have leftover rice on hand.
Optional: towards the end of the baking time, you may add slices of cheese to the top.
