While it turned out better than I had anticipated, I was still luke-warm about the rice-based pie crust and would probably try the recipe again in a flour-based pie crust. The filling was delicious, however! I made a few modifications to the filling: only used 2 eggs instead of 3, added 1/4 cup of swiss, added a little salt and nutmeg.

This is very good. I liked it served at room temperature. I made a tweak: To the spinach, I added the juice and zest of a medium-size lemon, giving it a Mediterranian flare. I had to use white rice because I was out of brown. Since this is so easy to make, and I think fool-proof, I'll make this often. I want to try the rice crust with other fillings like south western, or summer veggies. Thanks!

The brown rice crust is a really great idea, and I was actually surprized that everything came out layered and nice and firm. I followed the recipe almost exactly, but I didn't have any parmesan and I made it in a 8x8 pan. Next time I will probably add some salt and pepper, and maybe some green onion or cilantro with the spinach. BTW, it was super easy! Thanks!
