Crust
2 cups leftover rice (white or brown)

1 cup mild cheese, grated (such as Monterey jack, Colby - in any combination)
Salt and pepper to taste
Dash nutmeg or ground mace

Place broccoli in bottom of crust. Mix together eggs, milk, and spices. Pour over broccoli. Top with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-50 minutes, or until knife inserted near center of pie comes out clean. Remove from oven and let sit 10 minutes before slicing.
