Microwave Veggie Quiche With Brown Rice Crust image

I love this healthy alternative to the traditional quiche. The brown rice crust is surprisingly good. You can substitute whatever fresh veggies you have on hand. I love to add a little cheese.

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups cooked brown rice
1 egg white
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
