Ingredients:

3/4 cup brown rice
170g
2 cups chicken gravy
400g
2 tbsp sesame seeds
30g
1 cup mushrooms
230g
6 shallots
300g
1/2 cup basil leaves
3.50g
salt & pepper to taste
3 eggs
150g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
1 cup cheddar cheese
100g

Instructions:

12. Bake. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set. You can check if it’s done by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
13. Cool & Serve. Allow the pie to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Rice-Crust Pie hot or at room temperature.

Tips:

- Ensure that the brown rice is cooked thoroughly and cooled before mixing it with other ingredients to form the crust.

- For a golden-brown crust, consider pre-baking the rice crust for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling.

- You can enhance the flavor by using a mix of different mushrooms such as shiitake, cremini, or portobello.

- If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the filling.

- Consider using a springform pan for easier removal of the pie after baking.

- Allow the pie to rest for a few minutes after baking to let the filling set properly.

Creating a rice-crust pie is a wonderful way to experiment with different textures and flavors in your culinary repertoire. With its hearty and satisfying ingredients, this dish is sure to be a hit at your dining table. Serve it hot and enjoy the savory blend of rice, chicken gravy, mushrooms, and cheese, all in one bite.
