Sweet Potato Crust Quiche Recipe

After a long weekend and no recent trip to the super market, I was left to try to figure out dinner while stuck at home with 1 kid napping.

So, Sweet Potato Crust Quiche it was!

Ingredients:

1 medium sweet potatoes

1 Small Onion (chopped)

1 Bell Pepper (chopped)

2-3 cloves of Garlic (minced)

Frozen or Fresh Spinach (or any leafy green)--Frozen spinach should be thawed and drained

Handful of cherry tomatoes

4 slices of Turkey bacon (cooked) or about 1 cup Cubed Ham

Olive oil

Cooking Spray (I used coconut oil spray)

8 Eggs

1/2 Cup of Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 400°
• Spray Pie plate with cooking spray
• Slice Sweet potato to 1/8" and layer on bottom and sides of pie plate
• Spray with cooking spray and bake for 15 minutes
• Remove from oven and set aside.  Reduce oven to 350°
• While the sweet potato is baking, heat olive oil (enough to coat the pan) in a skillet and cook onions and peppers until soft.  Add garlic and continue cooking.  Add spinach (if fresh allow to wilt. If frozen--ensure you have thawed and drained the spinach before)  
• Add bacon or ham to warm and remove from heat.
• Beat 8 eggs in a bowl and add 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese
• Add Veggie mixture to egg mixture to combine add cherry tomatoes
• Pour over sweet potato in pie plate and bake for 30-35 minutes until it is firm and slightly browning on top

I made two 1 with turkey bacon and 1 with cubed ham.  I would saw you can use any veggies you have in the fridge.  We happen to have an abundance of cherry tomatoes from our garden and I threw some in last minute, they added a nice flavor to it.  

I counted this as 1 Yellow, 1 Green, 1 Blue, 1 ½ Red, and 1 tsp
