I live on a lake where the Native Americans used to harvest the rice. This recipe is excellent as a side dish during the holidays and makes a wonderful stuffing for turkey, chicken or cornish game hens. Also good with wild game.

WILD RICE QUICHE

Wild rice is very abundant in our state, so that's why I think this dish is appropriate for a regional recipe contest. This is an excellent brunch item that I usually serve with fresh muffins and fruit. When you add a steaming cup of Norwegian egg coffee, you have a super Minnesota meal.

Bacon and Eggs Casserole image

Because it's fast to fix and such a great hit with family and friends, this egg casserole with bacon is a favorite of mine to make for brunches. Served with a fruit salad, hot muffins and croissants, it's excellent for an after-church meal. -Deanna Durward-Orr, Windsor, Ontario
