Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
- Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with a bit of vegetable oil.
- Arrange the sweet potato slices in the pie dish to form a crust, overlapping them slightly to ensure the entirety of the dish is covered. Don’t forget the sides of the dish.
- Lightly brush the sweet potato slices with a small amount of vegetable oil.
Place the sweet potato crust in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are just starting to become tender.
- While the crust is baking, heat 1 tsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
- Stir in the sautéed vegetables (onions and spinach).
- Once the sweet potato crust is done, evenly pour the egg and vegetable mixture over the crust.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top.
Place the assembled quiche back in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Make sure to slice the sweet potatoes thinly and evenly to ensure they cook through properly and serve as a sturdy crust.
- Pre-bake the sweet potato slices slightly before adding the filling to avoid a soggy crust.
- If you prefer a bit more spice, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the filling for an extra kick.
- Ensure the spinach is well-drained after cooking to prevent excess moisture in the quiche.
- Feel free to use any milk you prefer, but keep in mind that higher fat content milk will result in a creamier quiche.
Your Spinach Feta Quiche with Sweet Potato Crust is now ready to be enjoyed. The harmony of flavors from the sweet potato crust, savory spinach, and creamy feta will surely be a hit. Don't forget to let it cool slightly before serving, to allow the quiche to set perfectly.
