How to Make Fresh Veggie And Herb Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine cooked rice, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
  3. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray. Press the rice mixture into the bottom of the pie plate, forming an even layer.
  4. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
  5. While the crust bakes, steam 1 cup chopped broccoli and 1 cup chopped cauliflower in a steamer basket over boiling water for 5 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Drain well.
  6. Spread the steamed broccoli, cauliflower, and 1/2 cup shredded carrots evenly over the rice crust.
  7. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg.
  9. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese and vegetables.
  10. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the filling is lightly golden brown.
  11. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
