Broccoli, Mushroom & Cheddar Quiche with a Brown Rice Crust

I really love frittatas and quiche, but I wanted to try something a little different for a change.  My husband loves brown rice, and I stumbled upon a brown rice crust recipe and thought it might be interesting.  It turned out to be a hit, and it kind of tasted more like a casserole.  I love the flavor of brown rice, so it probably wasn't too hard to please me, but my husband enjoyed it as well.  This recipe was a little time consuming, but it was worth it in my opinion.  It would be a great option for dinner, lunch, or breakfast, and it is also pretty healthy!  This is a vegetarian recipe, but you could easily throw in some shredded chicken or turkey, sausage, or bacon to make it meat friendly.

Broccoli, Mushroom & Cheddar Quiche with a Brown Rice Crust
Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • ¼ cup low fat cheddar cheese finely grated
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 cup skim milk
  • 2 cups broccoli cut into bite sized pieces and blanched
  • 8 oz package of mushrooms chopped
  • 1 cup low fat sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 4 green onions sliced
  • 1 pinch nutmeg optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Mix the rice, finely grated cheese and one egg in a bowl. Press the rice mixture into a pie plate, about ¼ inch thick.
  2. Bake in a preheated 450 degree F oven until the edges and bottom just start turning golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Turn oven to broil on high for 2-3 more minutes until crust looks crisp.
  3. Mix the remaining eggs, milk, broccoli, mushrooms, sharp cheddar cheese and green onions in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust.
  4. Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven until golden brown and set in the center, about 30 to 35 minutes.

    Making this tonight, but using spinach instead of mushrooms, and a white onion in place of the green. I'll let you know how the changes taste! 🙂
