Not yet. Unless you count the tomatoes that I need to use up.
But I will be making something on the order of what you made in a day
or so. My sister devised this many years ago, as a twist on a
quiche. She uses cooked brown rice for a "crust, and then puts a sort
of quiche filling on top.
This one in particular has sliced tomatoes on top of the brown rice.
Then onion, green pepper, diced tomatoes, and basil (maybe
thyme/oregano too) are sauteed and cooked down til the mixture looses
it's moisture. After that it is added to a quiche type mixture of
eggs, milk and grated cheese (I use cheddar) and then poured on top.
Then baked til set, just like a quiche. It is pretty good!
