I found this recipe while I was surfing to-day. I made it for supper and it turned out very well. The rice crust was really good.

Rice Crust Spinach Quiche

1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
5 eggs
1/2 tsp curry powder
3/4 cup evaporated milk 2% m.f.
1 pkg 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 tbsp chopped green onions
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground pepper

Combine rice, 1/2 cup cheese, I egg and curry powder. Press on the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch oven-proof pie plate. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, beat together remaining 4 eggs and milk. Combine with spinach, mushrooms, green onions, garlic powder, pepper and remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Pour into pre-baked crust. Bake for 30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the centre comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

N.B. I substituted 18% cream for the evaporated milk but I would think that any kind of cream or milk would be suitable.
