What each ingredient does

Eggs
Bind the mixture and help it set into a firm, sliceable bake.
Cheddar cheese
Adds richness and savory flavor, and helps the bake hold together as it melts.
Butter
Carries the onion flavor and adds richness to the dish.
Rice
Forms the bulk of the dish and gives it body.
Milk
Adds moisture and softness, loosening the mixture before it bakes.
