How to Make Roasted Vegetable Cheese Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups cooked rice, 1 large egg, and ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
  3. Press the rice mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
  4. While the crust bakes, prepare the vegetables. In a large bowl, combine 1 medium zucchini (diced), ½ cup chopped bell peppers (any color), ½ cup chopped red onion, 1 cup broccoli florets, ½ cup sliced mushrooms, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp dried oregano, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper.
  5. Stir to coat vegetables evenly.
  6. Spread the vegetable mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or coated with cooking spray. Roast for 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C), or until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. Remove the partially baked rice crust from the oven. Increase oven temperature to 450°F (232°C).
  8. Add ¼ cup pitted Kalamata olives and ½ cup chopped cherry tomatoes to the roasted vegetables. Toss gently to combine.
  9. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  10. Sprinkle ¼ cup shredded fontina cheese over the rice crust.
  11. Evenly distribute the roasted vegetable mixture over the cheese layer.
  12. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup shredded fontina cheese over the vegetables.
  13. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
