Angela's Notes:

I started making this recipe many years ago when I was a newlywed. And somewhere down the line I lost it and have been trying to recreate it ever since. Well, tonight I came across my mother in laws recipe box and I found it! She loved this quiche and had copied it from my original recipe. My mother and father in law have both since passed away, so I am dedicating this recipe to them. Miss you Bea and Zane...

 

Directions
1
Start with your crust: In a medium bowl mix flour and salt. With a pastry blender or fork cut in the 6 Tbs. of margarine until it resembles coarse meal. With a fork stir in the 3 or 4 Tbs. of ice water just until dough holds together .
2
With your hands, press dough onto bottom and sides of a 9'inch tart pan (with removable bottom). Refrigerate crust till ready to fill.
3
Now prepare your boil in bag rice, using directions listed on box. Set aside and PREHEAT OVEN to 400 degrees.
4
FILLING: In a non-stick skillet saute over medium heat 1 TBS. margarine and add the mushrooms. Saute until golden brown and liquid has evaporated.
5
In a large bowl, mix sauteed mushrooms with milk, egg substitute, spinach, roasted red peppers, cheese, black pepper and 3/4 tsp. salt. Blend together gently.
6
ASSEMBLY: Sprinkle cooked rice over bottom of uncooked pie crust, pour vegetable mixture over rice.
7
Cover cookie sheet with aluminum foil, catches any run off or drips and makes clean up much easier.
8
Bake quiche 55-60 min. or until filling and crust are golden brown and a knife comes out clean from center.
9
Cool quiche about 15 min. on a wire rack. Then remove the bottom of tart pan and slide onto plate.
10
I serve this with a side salad. It is a hearty quiche and doesn't need much else with it. Enjoy my friends.

Sherri, If you never try another one of my recipes try this one ! It is the bomb, I am so thrilled to have found the recipe and to get to make this for my husband once again. The jar of roasted red peppers are what makes this recipe a stand out and the rice on the bottom is so unique and mmm mmm good ! lol

Bea and Zane died two years and 1 month exactly from one another. My sweet husband lost both his parents when he was just 37 years old. He is an only child and so were his parents, but he has some great cousins that we enjoy getting together with. His Mom was not the best cook but she sure did try. They were amazing parents and super amazing Grandparents to my son. They are missed.

It is early and I haven't slept much, I think I sound cocky in the above first sentence. I just meant that it is tried and true and not an experiment. In other words it is super good and I hope you enjoy it....Man, I need some rest.....Not feeling very good, sorry, I hope I am making sense. lol

Angela honey, You didn't sound cocky. You must really not be feeling well though because it is early. I'll put in a prayer for your and hope you feel better soon.
