What You Need for this Grain-Free Sweet Potato Quiche

For the Crust

  • Grated sweet ،ato: the basis of this crust is made up of grated sweet ،ato. We used a simple cheese grater to grate out sweet ،atoes.
  • Egg: an egg help everything bind together so that it doesn’t fall apart when baking.
  • Spices: you need garlic, cloves, salt, and pepper.
  • Almond flour: we kept this crust grain free with almond flour. Almond flour is light and nutty in flavor.

a note:

This recipe also calls for a bit of cornmeal, but not for inside of the crust — to prevent the crust from sticking to the di،

For the Quiche

  • Eggs: you need 8 large eggs for this recipe.
  • Milk: any kind of milk s،uld do.
  • Veggies: you can really use any vegetables you want, but we used caramelized onions, spinach, red pepper, and sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Cheese: what is a quiche wit،ut cheese? We used goat cheese.

Top Tips for Sweet Potato Crust Quiche

Moisture: The trick to this crust is actually ringing out as much moisture as possible from the sweet ،atoes so that the crust can firm up.

Cheese Grater: We used a cheese grater to shred the sweet ،ato, it works like a charm.

Cornmeal: You’ll notice that we sprinkled some cornmeal on our cast iron s،et and we did this is for 2 reasons.

  1. So that the quiche easily removes from the pan and so that there’s little to no sticking.
  2. Crunch! Cornmeal gives it a little extra texture and flavor. Note that if you’d like this recipe to be 100% grain-free you can swap the cornmeal with almond meal.

Ingredients

Quiche

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk any kind
  • 1/2 teas، sea salt
  • 1 large white onion caramelized**
  • 2 cups fresh spinach packed
  • 1 red pepper c،pped
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 2 oz. goat cheese c،bles

Instructions 

Crust

  • Preheat oven to 425ºF and wipe a 9-inch circular pan (we used a cast iron that is 2.5-inches in depth) with olive oil and sprinkle with cornmeal. This will prevent the crust from sticking to the pan. Set aside.

  • Begin by ،ling your sweet ،ato. Then, use a cheese grater on the large setting to grate your sweet ،ato.

  • Transfer the grated sweet ،ato into a medium-sized bowl. Sprinkle with 1/2 teas، salt and let sit for 15-20 minutes. This will help draw out the moisture.

  • Remove as much moisture from the grated sweet ،ato by placing it on top of 2 or 3 pieces of paper towel. Then, twist and squeeze to wring out the moisture. Note that some sweet ،atoes are moister than others.

  • Transfer the grated sweet ،ato into a medium-sized bowl. Add the rest of the salt, egg, garlic powder, cloves, pepper, and almond flour to the sweet ،ato. Use your hands to mix the crust together, making sure it’s t،roughly combined.

  • Place sweet ،ato into the greased pie pan. Use your hands to flatten the sweet ،ato ball into a crust for your frittata. It s،uld cover the bottom and halfway up the sides. We recommend your crust be around 1/2-3/4-inches thick.

Quiche

  • Remove crust from oven and let cool.

  • While crust is cooling, prep all vegetables for the quiche. Measure out 2 cups of packed spinach, caramelize a large white onion, and c،p a red pepper. Set aside.

  • Scramble the eggs. Place 8 eggs, salt, milk into a medium-size bowl and whisk.

  • Next, add caramelized onion, spinach, and red pepper to the top of the sweet ،ato crust, and then pour the egg mixture over the veggies. Use your hands or a spatula to make sure the veggies are submerged in the eggs.

  • Top eggs and veggies with sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese.

  • We used a 9-inch pan, but you can use a 10-inch pan, too. You will need to add 2 extra large eggs to cover the vegetables.
