All About Sweet Potato Crust Quiche

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

For the crust:

Grated sweet potato: the basis of this crust is made up of grated sweet potato. We used a simple cheese grater to grate out sweet potatoes.
Egg: an egg help everything bind together so that it doesn’t fall apart when baking.
Spices: you need garlic, cloves, salt, and pepper.
Almond flour: we kept this crust grain free with almond flour. Almond flour is light and nutty in flavor.

For the quiche:

Eggs: you need 8 large eggs for this recipe.
Milk: any kind of milk should do.
Veggies: you can really use any vegetables you want, but we used caramelized onions, spinach, red pepper, and sun-dried tomatoes.
Cheese: what is a quiche without cheese? We used goat cheese.
