Nice dish, Kari! We really enjoyed this interesting and tasty dish. When I made it, I made it early in the day and kept it in the refrigerator until dinner time. It worked out well, and I always consider it a plus it you can make it ahead. The flavors were very good together. It will definately be used again. Thanks for posting such a tasty dish.

I think it's best to mix the salt and pepper into the egg/milk mix rather than to sprinkle the top with salt and pepper. It helps with the overall flavor of the dish.

I knew we would love this dish and were not disappointed. The texture was nice and light, yet very flavorful from the cheese and seasonings. I know I'll be grabbing this recipe to make for company, since I can prepare it ahead of time, which is a real bonus. You gave us a winner Kari...thanks.

this was a wonderful dish, light and souffle-like, my daughters thought it was a quiche. i was able to cut it into 6 serving slices. i added about 6 chopped kalamata olives to the mix before baking just to give it some color, i think pimentos would work well too. this is a keeper

Yum! This is a promising dish; mine was not big on flavor, but admittedly I used lame pre-shredded cheddar cheese. With chipotle hot sauce, it was delicious. I will make again with more seasonings. I used a whole 6 oz. jar of artichokes, and it worked well, in spite of the fact that I'm not a big artichoke fan. This is a similar to a quiche, but the rice adds a better texture, in my opinion.
