About the Recipe
Roasted Sweet Potato Quiche- A delicious twist on a traditional quiche with roasted sweet potatoes, onions, and lots of gruyere cheese.
Ingredients
• 2 sweet potatoes (500g)
• 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 shallot (sliced in half-moon)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 180g spinach
• 3 eggs
• 100g heavy cream
• 100g milk
• 1/3 tsp nutmeg
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 80g Gruyere cheese
Preparation
1. Boil the sweet potatoes, then transfer to a greased 20cm baking tin and crush. Press firmly to create the sides (build them high as they will shrink!). Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (fan) for 40-45 minutes.
2. In a frying pan, melt butter, add shallot and garlic, cook until softened, then add spinach. Cook until wilted and set aside (if the mixture is too watery, drain the spinach).
3. Whisk eggs, cream, milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and lemon zest. Add Gruyere cheese and whisk well. Pour this mixture over the sweet potato base after adding the spinach.
4. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 180°C until settled. Enjoy your delightful creation!
