Tuna Rice Pie Diabetic Recipe

Ingredients:
1/3 cup uncooked white rice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon margarine
2 large eggs, or 1/2 cup egg substitute
One 6-1/2 ounce can water-packed tuna or salmon, drained and flaked
3/4 cup fat-free milk
1-1/2 cups fresh or thawed frozen peas
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 slices (4 ounce) reduced-fat Swiss or reduced-fat Colby cheese

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350-degrees. Prepare a 9-inch pie pan with nonstick spray.

Combine the rice, 1-cup water, and the salt in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, cover, and simmer 14 minutes. Separate the rice grains with a fork.

Beat one egg in a small bowl. Stir the margarine and beaten egg (or 1/4 cup egg substitute) into the rice mixture. Press the rice against the sides and bottom of the pie pan to make a crust. Spread the tuna or salmon evenly over the rice.
