Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Potato Crust
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese substitute with vegan cheese if desired
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
For the Filling
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped or kale if you prefer
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta for a milder flavor
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk or almond milk for a dairy-free version
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine grated sweet potatoes, shredded mozzarella, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Lightly grease a pie dish with cooking spray or olive oil. Press the sweet potato mixture evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the dish.
  4. Bake the crust in the oven for about 20 minutes until it starts to soften and lightly browns.
Filling Preparation
  1. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined. Stir in chopped spinach, crumbled goat cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  2. After 20 minutes, remove the crust from the oven and pour the spinach and cheese mixture over the top, spreading it evenly.
Baking
  1. Return the quiche to the oven for another 25 to 30 minutes until the filling is set with a slight jiggle in the middle.
  2. Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

Feel free to mix and match the greens; arugula or Swiss chard can be excellent substitutes for spinach. You can add cooked bacon or sautéed mushrooms for more protein, and for a vegan version, use flax eggs and non-dairy milk with a plant-based cheese. The sweet potato crust can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge.
