Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 1 medium sweet potato, diced
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by placing the pie crust into the dish, crimping the edges, and setting aside.
- Dice the sweet potato into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2-inch in size. Toss the cubes with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring once halfway through cooking.
- In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and smooth.
- Layer the roasted sweet potato cubes and cooked sausage crumbles evenly across the bottom of the pie crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the sweet potato and sausage layer.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the cheese, sweet potato, and sausage, ensuring even distribution.
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set and makes serving easier.
- Slice into 8 wedges and serve warm, garnishing with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or chives if desired.
Tips
- • For maximum flavor, use a high-quality artisan sausage and roast your sweet potatoes until they have those delicious caramelized edges. • Make sure to drain excess fat from the sausage to prevent a greasy quiche. • Allow the quiche to rest for 10-15 minutes after baking - this helps the filling set and makes cutting much easier. • For a golden, flaky crust, brush the pie crust edges with a little beaten egg before baking. • Feel free to experiment with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, gruyère, or a blend for added complexity. • If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked sausage and pre-cut sweet potato cubes to speed up preparation. • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven to maintain the crust's crispness.
