Description

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled
• 1 egg
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 5 to 6 strips thick-cut bacon, diced
• 1½ cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
• 7 eggs
• ½ cup milk
• 4 ounces mild goat cheese, crumbled
• Salt & pepper, to taste

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a cast iron skillet or springform pan with butter. If using a springform pan, cover the bottom with a piece of parchment paper.
• Grate the sweet potatoes with a box grater or the grater attachment of your food processor. Transfer the grated potato into a large mixing bowl.
• Use paper towels to squeeze the excess liquid from the potatoes.
• Add the egg, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Stir until well combined.
• Pour the potatoes into your prepared pan. use your hands to press the potatoes up the sides of the pan and along the bottom to create a crust. Be sure to close any holes that may appear while moving around the potatoes.
• Bake for 30 minutes. The top edges of the crust will brown and the rest of the crust will crisp up.
• Carefully remove the pan from the oven and allow to stir for 5-10 minutes.
• Reduce the oven to 350 degrees F.
• While the crust sets, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the bacon until crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Place the spinach in the hot bacon fat for 1 minute, just enough to wilt it a bit. Remove the spinach from the fat.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add the spinach, bacon, and goat cheese to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.
• Pour the filling into your crust.
• Bake the quiche for 30 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven, and let the quiche set for 10 to 20 minutes.
• Cut into slices and serve.
