CAJUN QUICHE IN A RICE CRUST



Cajun Quiche in a Rice Crust image

This recipe came from Cooking Light magazine, we aren't usually quiche fans but this was awsum! A tip: I like to put leftover cooked rice in the freezer, this way I always have precooked rice when I need it and I don't waste the leftovers. Also I add 1-2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning to the egg mixture. Crust browns nicely! Hope you enjoy!

LOW FAT QUICHE WITH RICE CRUST



Low Fat Quiche With Rice Crust image

I'm not sure where I got this recipe, but it makes a nice, much lighter than normal, quiche. I like it made with broccoli and mushrooms, and served with fresh tomato slices. I do steam the broccoli a bit before hand if it is frozen.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality rice for the crust. A medium-grain rice, such as jasmine or basmati, will work well.
  • Be sure to rinse the rice well before cooking it. This will help to remove any excess starch and make the crust more crispy.
  • When cooking the rice, be sure to use a 1:1 ratio of rice to water. This will ensure that the rice is cooked through but not mushy.
  • Once the rice is cooked, let it cool slightly before pressing it into the quiche pan. This will help to prevent the crust from cracking.
  • When filling the quiche, be sure to use a variety of ingredients. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Be sure to bake the quiche until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This will take about 30-35 minutes.

Conclusion:

This Cajun quiche in a rice crust is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The crispy rice crust pairs perfectly with the creamy filling, and the Cajun spices add a touch of heat and flavor. This quiche is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
