I enjoyed this. Healthy and good flavor. I didn't have the egg substitute so I use a real egg. I cut the recipe down to 1 serving and made it in a small bowl coated with baking spray. Popped it in the oven until eggs were done. I made it with another recipe of her's: Ham and picnic bread. Great combonation. Thanks for sharing.

My only change to this recipe was to use fresh mushrooms instead of canned. It's a nice healthy recipe with good flavor. The rice makes it a bit more hearty than your typical quiche. Hubby asked for sausage to be added to it next time - so it looks like this is a keeper! Thanks for sharing love4culinary :)
