Ingredients
Crust
- 1 pie crust
Filling
- 1 cup sweet potatoes, diced and roasted
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk or cream
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar, feta, or goat cheese)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the quiche evenly.
- Prepare Pie Crust: Place the pie crust into a pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides to fit snugly and provide a base for the filling.
- Layer Vegetables: Spread the roasted diced sweet potatoes evenly over the crust, then sprinkle the chopped fresh spinach on top of the sweet potatoes to create a flavorful vegetable layer.
- Mix Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined, which will form the custard filling.
- Combine Filling: Pour the egg mixture over the layered vegetables in the pie crust, ensuring it covers the filling evenly.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of the quiche for a creamy, flavorful finish.
- Bake: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the quiche to cool slightly for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving to help it set properly and enhance the flavors.
Notes
- Let the quiche rest for 10 minutes before cutting to ensure it holds its shape.
- For a flavor variation, try using feta or goat cheese instead of shredded cheese.
- You can roast the sweet potatoes ahead of time to save prep time.
- Use a refrigerated pie crust or make your own homemade crust for added flakiness.
- Serve warm or at room temperature for best taste.
