The biggest issue I have with quiche is the crust. I hate making crust for quiche. Maybe I just don’t like the idea of having a pie crust under my eggs. whatever it is, I think I have found the solution. You can make a fabulous crust using leftover brown rice. Here is my recipe:

Broccoli Quiche

Crust:

2 eggs

1/2 C Parmasan Cheese

1 1/2  C cooked brown rice

salt and pepper to taste

Mix thoroughly and press into pie plate. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

Filling:

1 C raw broccoli

1/4 C diced onions

1/4 C diced bell pepper

1/2 C preferred meat (lobster, chicken, shrimp)

2 slices bacon, cooked and chopped

1 c swiss cheese (like Jarlsberg)

Egg mixture:

4 eggs

1 Can evaporated milk

4 cloves garlic, crushed (more or less to taste)

1/2 tsp tarragon

1/4 tsp white pepper

1/4 tsp salt or ormus

Once crust is cooked, sprinkle with 1/2 of the grated cheese. Evenly sprinkle the bacon on the cheese then sprinkle remaining filling ingredients. Evenly pour egg mixture then sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Remove from oven and cool at least 5 minutes before cutting.
