Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
- 6 large Eggs
- 2 Egg whites
- 0.5 cups Grated reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 cups Chopped fresh spinach
- 0.5 cups Sliced mushrooms
- 0.5 cups Diced onion
- 1 cups Low-fat milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a 9-inch pie dish with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Press 2 cups of cooked rice evenly into the bottom and sides of the prepared pie dish to form the crust. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, 2 egg whites, and 1 cup of low-fat milk until smooth.
Stir in 1/2 cup of grated reduced-fat cheddar cheese, 1 cup of chopped spinach, 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms, and 1/2 cup of diced onion.
Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Pour the egg and vegetable mixture over the rice crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the pie dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your healthy, low-fat quiche!
