Rice Crust?!

[digmom1014]

I subscribe to Mary Hunt's Everyday Cheapskate newsletter and she had this idea for left over rice. I had never seen it b-4 and it looked like a good idea. ( you would need to gluten-free the soy but...)

Cooked rice

Turn that rice into a wonderful quiche crust. Mix together 2 cups white or brown leftover cooked rice, one beaten egg and one teaspoon soy sauce.

Spread evenly to cover a well-buttered quiche or pie pan. Bake crust at 350 F. for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Place any kind of fresh or frozen vegetables (broccoli is a good choice) or meat in bottom of crust. Mix together 4 beaten eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk or half-and-half, salt and pepper to taste and a dash of nutmeg. Pour over vegetables. Top with 1 cup grated cheese (Swiss, cheddar, Jack or any combination). Bake at 350 F for 45 to 50 minutes or until a knife inserted near center of pie comes out clean. Remove from oven and let sit 10 minutes before serving.
