(Serves 4)

1½ cups water
¼ cup long-grain rice
½ pound skim milk ricotta cheese
2 each eggs, beaten
½ pound mozzarella cheese, chopped
½ pound lobster meat, cut in small pieces
1 small onion, chopped
1/10 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons Italian seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons milk

In a large saucepan bring water to a boil. Add rice and return to boiling, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer 20-25 minutes, or until done. Drain.

Stir in ricotta cheese, eggs, mozzarella cheese, lobster meat, onion, and black pepper.

Butter an 11" quiche dish, coat with bread crumbs. Spoon lobster mixture into dish. Pour milk over mixture (this makes the top brown and crusty after baking). Bake uncovered at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until top is golden brown and knife inserted near center comes out clean.
