Lightly cook the broccoli in a little butter and set aside. Beat eggs and cream together. and set aside. Butter a loaf pan ((x5x3). It helps a lot to line the pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Butter the paper and sprinkle with some of the bread crumbs.. Pack half the rice mixture in the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle a fourth of the cheese over the rice. Pour a little of the egg-cream mixture over the rice. Spread to cover. Next, layer the bell peppers, another fourth of the cheese and more egg/cream mixture. Continue layering with the broccoli and the carrots in layers with the cheese and egg/cream mixture between the layers. Place the remaining rice and the last part of the egg/ cream mixture on the top. Top with remaining breadcrumbs and another piece of foil or parchment paper. Bake in a bain marie or place in a water bath with the water halfway up the sides of the loaf pan. Bake at 350 F for 1 1/2 hours. Let cool a few minutes and gently remove from the loaf pan. Serve hot, warm or cold, cut into 1/2 inch slices.
