Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the 1 pie crust into a 9 inch tart pan, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess. Prick the bottom with a fork.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 3 large eggs, 0.5 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 0.25 teaspoon salt until well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 3
Stir in the 1 cup cooked rice and 2 cups milk until everything is evenly distributed. The mixture will be thin, but that's okay.
Step 4
Pour the custard mixture into the prepared crust. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
Step 5
Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the custard is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center. A knife inserted near the center should come out mostly clean.
Step 6
Let the tart cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
