Brown rice is a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.

Ingredients

1.5 ounces brown rice flour (about 1/3 cup)
1.4 ounces sweet white sorghum flour (about 1/3 cup)
1.4 ounces tapioca flour (about 1/3 cup)
1.3 ounces potato starch (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fat-free milk
1 large egg
Cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °.
To prepare crust, weigh or lightly spoon flours and potato starch into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Place flours, potato starch, xanthan gum, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor; pulse 2 times or until blended. Add butter; process 30 seconds or until mixture resembles coarse meal. With processor on, slowly add milk and 1 egg through food chute; process until dough forms a ball.
Press mixture gently into a 4-inch circle on plastic wrap; cover. Chill 30 minutes. Slightly overlap 2 sheets of plastic wrap on work surface. Unwrap and place chilled dough on plastic wrap. Cover dough with 2 additional sheets of overlapping plastic wrap. Roll dough, still covered, into a 12-inch circle. Remove top sheets of plastic wrap; fit dough, plastic wrap side up, into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Remove remaining plastic wrap. Fold edges under; flute. Pierce bottom and sides of dough with a fork. Bake at 350 ° for 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
To prepare filling, cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat 8 minutes or until crisp. Remove bacon from pan; crumble. Add spinach to drippings in pan; sauté 1 minute or until spinach wilts.
Layer spinach, bacon, and cheeses in crust. Combine milk, pepper, 1/8 teaspoon salt, eggs, and egg whites in a medium bowl; stir well with a whisk. Pour over layered ingredients in crust.
Bake at 350 ° for 35 minutes or until crust is golden brown and eggs are set. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
