Sweet Potato Crust Quiche

 

sweet potato crust quiche

Category:  Main dish, about  1 ½ hours

Ingredients:

o   2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled & sliced)

o   5 oz fresh baby spinach (sautéed)

o   ½ cup milk

o   ½ tsp salt

o   ¼ tsp pepper

o   4 eggs

o   2 egg whites

o   1.5 oz feta cheese (crumbled)

o   Cooking spray

 

 

Instructions:

1.     Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2.     Coat a pie pan with cooking spray, then fill the bottom of the pan with a layer of sweet potato slices.  Fill around the edges of the pan with sweet potato slices cut in half (round side facing up).  Once the entire pan is covered, coat with cooking spray.

3.     Bake for 20 minutes, then turn oven up to 375 degrees.

4.     For the filling, combine milk, salt & pepper, eggs and egg whites in a bowl. 

5.     Arrange spinach in the crust, then pour the egg mixture over.

6.     Sprinkle with feta cheese.

7.     Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.  Let stand five minutes before serving.

 

 

Notes:

You can use a mandolin to slice the sweet potatoes (if you are very careful and can avoid self-injury).   A 8”x 8” square baking dish will work instead of a pie pan.
