I am always looking for new ways to eat vegetables, and I bet you are too.
(One of my favorite people recently asked me for more vegetable recipes, so this recipe is for you!)
Two of my favorite vegetable recipes on the blog are Greek Frittata and Greek Frittatta Cups. Other winners include these green beans, stuffed peppers and squash, and this delicious, marinated tomato and mozzarella salad.
Pepper and Rice Bake is a gluten-free alternative to quiche and is good hot or cold. It makes a great vegetarian main dish or vegetable side you can serve for brunch, lunch or dinner. If you are not dairy free, feel free to use real milk or cream and even throw in some cheese.
I like to offer basic recipes that even a beginner cook can master. This recipe delivers with just ten ingredients including water, salt and pepper! For stronger flavors, add a few teaspoons of one of the following: lemon pepper, Italian or Greek herb blend, garlic or steak seasoning or even a handful of chopped fresh herbs such as oregano, parsley, etc…
Dress up this recipe with different types of rice (or similar grains) and vegetables: Instead of spinach and peppers, use up to a pound (500 gm) of your favorite cooked vegetables, such as caramelized onions, mushrooms, peas and carrots, squashes or eggplant. By varying the seasonings, rice and type of veggie, you can turn this single recipe into many different dishes that can evolve with the season.
Dig in to Pepper ‘N Rice Bake. A colorful, vegetable main dish or side that’s gluten free, versatile and fits your healthy lifestyle!

I used almond milk; nutrition facts will change depending upon type of milk and additional spices.
You can reduce cholesterol by using egg whites instead of whole eggs.
Two egg whites equals one whole egg.
You may further reduce fat by sautéing peppers in less olive oil or use an all vegetable cooking spray.

I made this recipe, taking the liberty of adding some shredded mozzarella cheese. It was delicious, and there was not one slice left. Our guests just loved it!
Liz, SO glad this recipe pleased your family and friends!
Cheese is a great addition to this vegetable casserole!
Thanks for sharing and happy cooking!
