I'm always on the look-out for dishes to make for my meatless meals that I have once or twice a week and I will definitely make this again, tho with adjustments. The onions were still raw so next time I'll sautè them first. And it screams for salt and pepper. I enjoy quiche but don't like the calories that most crusts add. The rice crust in this recipe is great!

I really didn't have high expectations for this dish, especially with no reviews. I was sure the rice would be mushy and crumbly and that the eggs wouldn't set and that it needed milk, but I went ahead and made it anyway because the rice crust intrigued me... I sure am glad I gave it a try!! I made it exactly as written and used brown rice. The crust held together perfectly and had a nice crisp, but soft texture. It cooked in exactly the time that was given too! The broccoli and mushrooms were great but I am looking forward to making many varieties of this dish. Thank you so much for posting!
