Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups cooked brown rice
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, finely grated
5 eggs
1 cup milk
2 cups broccoli, cut into bite sized pieces and blanched
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
4 green onions, sliced
1 pinch nutmeg (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Mix the rice, finely grated cheese and one egg in a bowl. Press the rice mixture into a pie plate, about 1/4 inch thick. Bake in a preheated 450 degree F oven until the edges and bottom just start turning golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Mix the remaining eggs, milk, broccoli, sharp cheddar cheese and green onions in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust. Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven until golden brown and set in the center, about 30 to 35 minutes.

Tips:

For a crispy quiche crust, pre-bake the crust for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling.
To prevent a soggy quiche, use a combination of grated and chopped broccoli.
To ensure the quiche is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the quiche is done.
Let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving to allow the filling to set.
For a vegetarian quiche, omit the bacon or pancetta.
For a gluten-free quiche, use a gluten-free pie crust.
Serve the quiche with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
