Has good potential
I often find quiche to be very greasy and heavy, but this recipe is light and the filling turned out fluffy just the way I like. The brown rice crust was also different and I like how the sides turned out crunchy. But the seasoning in this recipe didn't give the filling enough taste. I would still use this recipe again, but modify the seasoning to give the filling more flavor. Overall, I do like this recipe and will use it again with some tweaks (maybe add some ham, use more onion powder and add garlic powder, and season the vegetables before steaming)

Great flavor profile!
I had some leftover brown rice so made a ½ batch in muffin top pans which gave me 4. I reduced the bake time to 10" which was perfect and used the leftover egg mixture to make crustless muffins. I wasn't sure if the recipe REALLY meant 4½t basil so I just used about a tsp of fresh oregano (I read that the oils from fresh herbs are more concentrated due to the Vitamix blades). I did add garlic powder as recommended by another user. I'll definitely make this again! I

Variation
Substitute almond milk. Add some ground flax seed to crust mixture for added fiber. Reduced fat cheddar works well. Don’t use any fat free cheese.
