How to Make Quiche with Sweet Potato Crust

Step One: Prepare Sweet Potato Crust

Shred 2 large peeled sweet potatoes in your food processor or with your hand grater.
Press into a 9-inch pie dish or 9-inch springform pan that has been greased with coconut oil or olive oil. Use a glass or your hands to FIRMLY press the sweet potatoes into the pan. Pro Tip: If using a springform pan, wrap in foil before baking. That way if your pan does not have a good seal, you will prevent any leakage!

Step Two: Bake Sweet Potato Crust

Bake the crust at 425 degrees for 20 minutes. This lets the sweet potatoes cook and begin to get crispy before adding the quiche filling.

Step Three: Make Quiche Filling

While your crust is baking, make your filling for you quiche.

Defrost frozen spinach and then in cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel, wring out any excess moisture from spinach. This step is important for the flavor and texture of your quiche.
Whisk 4 eggs together.
Add in spinach, red peppers, milk, and feta.

Feel free to use water or almond milk in place of milk and omit feta for a Whole30 approved, Paleo, Dairy-Free Quiche.

Step Four: Bake Sweet Potato Quiche

Remove crust from oven.
Turn oven to 375 degrees.
Pour egg mixture into crust.
Return to oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until eggs are set.

Step Five: Serve

Let your sweet potato quiche cool for 10 minutes in pan.
Use a knife to loosen the sides of the sweet potato crust from the sides of the pan.
Remove springform sides, or simply dish from the pie pan.
