If you don't have cooked rice on hand, use boil-in-a-bag rice (such as Success Rice) and follow the microwave directions. Cool the rice slightly before adding egg. Total time: 45 minutes. Ingredients:
2 cups cooked long-grain white rice, cooled |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon onion powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 large egg |
cooking spray |
1/4 cup (1 ounce) reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup prechopped onion |
1/2 cup prechopped celery |
1/2 cup prechopped red bell pepper |
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic |
3 ounces andouille sausage or kielbasa, chopped (about 2/3 cup) |
3/4 cup egg substitute |
1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as tabasco) |
2 large egg whites |
1/4 cup (1 ounce) reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. To prepare crust, combine rice, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 egg. Spread mixture into the bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle bottom of crust evenly with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
3. To prepare filling, heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion and the next 4 ingredients (through sausage); sauté 5 minutes. Spoon mixture evenly into prepared rice crust. Combine the egg substitute, fat-free yogurt, salt, hot pepper sauce, and egg whites; stir with a whisk until well blended. Pour egg substitute mixture over sausage mixture. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until the center is set. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
