Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced thin, crosswise making rounds
• 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 6 slices thick cut bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
• 1 c diced red onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 c spinach leaves
• 6 eggs
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

 

• To begin, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• Arrange the sweet potato slices in the bottom of a deep dish pie plate. I do this in a circular pattern, overlapping them slightly. Come up the sides of the pie plate a little with the slices. These will form your crust for the quiche.
• Drizzle or spritz the sweet potatoes with the olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender. Set this aside.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees.
• Meanwhile, saute the bacon in a skillet over medium low heat until golden and crisp. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, leaving about 2 tablespoons of the drippings in the skillet.
• Saute the onion in the bacon drippings until they are translucent.
• Add the minced garlic, and continue to cook until the onions and garlic are just tender.
• Add in the spinach and cook until just wilted. About 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Arrange the spinach mixture over the top of the sweet potato crust.
• In a bowl, beat the eggs, basil, salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the top of the contents of the pie plate.
• Sprinkle the bacon all over the top.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the eggs are set. The quiche will puff up as it bakes.
• Allow the quiche to rest 5-10 minutes before serving. As it rests, it will sink back down in the center.
• Enjoy!
