All About Sweet Potato Crust Quiche
INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED
For the crust:
- Grated sweet potato: the basis of this crust is made up of grated sweet potato. We used a simple cheese grater to grate out sweet potatoes.
- 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.
For the quiche:
- Eggs: you need 8 large eggs for this recipe.
- Milk: any kind of milk should 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 without cheese? We used goat cheese.
