Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Filling:

  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk (or almond milk)
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped (or any vegetables of choice)
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, or your favorite)
  • ½ cup cooked bacon or sausage (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with a little olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the sweet potato crust: Arrange the thinly sliced sweet potatoes in an overlapping circular pattern on the bottom and sides of the dish to form the crust. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly golden.
  3. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chopped spinach, shredded cheese, and cooked bacon or sausage if using.
  4. Fill the crust: Once the sweet potato crust is pre-baked, pour the egg mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly.
  5. Bake the quiche: Bake the quiche for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  6. Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.
