Lightly butter a 2-quart baking dish. Beat eggs and milk together, then fold into the rice/veg mix, transfer to the baking dish. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and spread breadcrumbs and remaining cheese on top, return to oven and cook until top is golden brown and casserole is heated through (about 20 mins).
