Sweet Potato Crust Quiche
This quiche recipe is all about the sweet potato crust. It is a bit crispy, a bit sweet, a bit earthy and every bit delicious. Shredded Sweet Potatoes form a perfect base for this easy gluten free spinach quiche. The sweet potatoes not only give this quiche substance, but they lend a sweet, earthy flavor as well.
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 spring form 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 spring form 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 sides of pan.
- Remove spring form sides, or simply dish from pie pan.

Love how fresh and seasonal this is. March and April are lean times for our local farmers, and spinach and sweet potatoes are amongst the only fresh ingredients we can get fresh locally right now. Looking forward to trying this!
It is wonderful that you are still able to get some fresh ingredients from your local farmers. Fresh and local are always best!

Spinach and red peppers are a favorite combo of mine as well, Carol.
Great idea and I love both the flavours and colours in your quiche – yummed and stumbled.
I appreciate that Choclette!
