This is a savory tart with a gluten free crust made from brown rice. Broccoli and caramelized brown onions make up the filling, but this can be adapted seasonally. —themuffinmyth

Perfectly delicious. I used some pan-roasted broccoli I’d made earlier in the week, and a yellow onion. Quite a bit of custard leaked through the tart pan that I used, which had a removable bottom. Fortunately, I’d put it on a baking sheet before popping it in the oven.

We took it to a potluck picnic where it disappeared instantly. People appreciated the GF option.

I’ll definitely make this again! ;o)

Wow, I make a similar rice crust, it's posted here on F52! My adaptation is from a couple recipes I found online…forgot where, it’s been so long! I just read about the recipe source on your blog, thanks for sharing that, I didn’t know about this book, will have to check it out. Great recipe – btw :)
