A New Spin on Quiche

I hope you are enjoying all the recipes from Dinner Tonight! This particular recipe for Rice Crust Quiche may be a little different than the more traditional quiche you are used to making…..or it may be a totally new experience for you. It is always good to experiment a little and this recipe will give you that opportunity!

First, the crust is a little unusual – would you agree? Who would think rice, egg and cheese could make a crust! It is actually easy and very healthy for your family. Be sure and use brown rice for a little added fiber to the diet. One other note – do not overcook the crust – remember it will be baked again when the filling is added.

The “meat” of the quiche can be any ingredient your family likes. Don’t be limited to a can of chicken or ham. Use left-over chicken from the previous night – be creative. You might even mix two different kinds of meat if you have a “little of this and a little of that” from the night before! The same rule applies to the vegetables mentioned in the recipe. Use what your family prefers. If they don’t like vegetables, you might try what Jessica Seinfield does...sneak them in anyway!!!!

I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the ease of this quiche recipe. It is inexpensive to make and sure to be a family favorite. Give it a chance! If you have questions, please post them...it just might help someone else.
