A traditional quiche filled with spinach and cheese with a sweet potato crust.
I love making quiche for dinner. I know it is usually a breakfast food but quiche is so easy to whip together for dinner when you don’t feel like thawing meat.
This quiche is extra special. It has a sweet potato crust!! The sweet potato crust makes this quiche totally different (and totally better!!) than a standard quiche.
The filling of this quiche is just eggs, spinach, garlic, and cheese. The filling is hearty and cheesy and goes perfectly with the sweet potato crust. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner this quiche will be your new favorite!
