BROCCOLI AND CHEDDAR QUICHE WITH RICE CRUST

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 F / 204 C degrees.
• Spray a pie dish with cooking spray (if making more or less than 4 servings, these will bake more evenly as mini quiches in a muffin pan; make 2 mini quiches per person). Whisk eggs (just the portion for the crust) and combine with rice, cheese (just the portion for the crust), salt and pepper. Gently press into bottom and sides of the pie dish. Bake until rice begins to turn golden brown, ~8 minutes (if making mini quiches, skip this initial baking step).
• In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, first portion of sour cream (reserve half for serving), salt and pepper. Beat with a whisk until smooth.
• Top crust with cheese and then broccoli. Pour egg mixture over top.
• Bake until eggs are cooked through, ~25 minutes for a full-size quiche and ~12 minutes for mini quiches.
• While quiche is baking, make vinaigrette by whisking together vinegar, mustard and oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss vinaigrette with greens, pecans and cranberries.
• Slice and serve quiche with sour cream on top. Enjoy with salad on the side.
