Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 9x9 inch baking dish (or a comparable size) with nonstick spray.

Step 2

Rinse the rice in a strainer until the water runs clear. Place the rice in the baking dish. Pour in the stock. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Sprinkle the cheese in and give it a quick stir.

Step 3

Add the butter slices all over the top of the rice. Cover the dish tightly with foil.

Step 4

Bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes more, until the rice is fluffy and the top is slightly golden.

Step 5

Serve!
