Equipment

  • 1 10-inch oven-safe skillet or round baking dish
  • 1 small skillet
  • 1 thermometer

Ingredients

  • 14 oz sweet potato peeled, grated and squeezed very dry
  • 7 large eggs divided between crust and filling
  • 1 tbsp tapioca starch
  • 2 1/2 tbsp avocado oil divided
  • 1 leek white part, chopped and washed
  • 4 asparagus stalks cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 oz soft goat cheese or dairy-free goat-style cheese crumbled
  • 1 1/2 tsp Simply Organic Spice Right Garlic & Herb seasoning divided

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Use a little of the measured oil to coat the baking dish. Mix sweet potato with 1 egg, tapioca starch, 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 teaspoon seasoning. Press firmly over the base and up the sides. Bake 23-25 minutes, until cooked and browning at the edges.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a small skillet. Cook leek and asparagus about 5 minutes, until tender. Cool briefly.
  • Whisk the remaining 6 eggs with goat cheese and the remaining 1 teaspoon seasoning. Stir in vegetables and pour into the crust. Bake 20-24 minutes, until set and the center reaches 160°F. Rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

The named blend contains garlic, onion, salt, pepper and herbs; another blend may need different seasoning amounts. Check its label for gluten-free suitability. Goat cheese is retained as requested, so this version is not dairy-free. Use separate pans for larger batches; changing ingredient amounts does not change the baking temperature.
Nutrition is estimated per serving from USDA FoodData Central and representative product labels. Uses large eggs, an 89 g trimmed leek and four medium asparagus stalks. Contains goat dairy. Seasoning is estimated with a generic garlic-powder proxy.
Inspired by Michelle Hoover.
Cheese options: The original recipe uses goat cheese, which contains dairy. You can choose dairy-free goat-style cheese if needed; check the other ingredients for your dietary needs. The nutrition estimate uses goat cheese. Another product changes the estimate, and flavor, texture and melting can vary.
Storage: Refrigerate quiche in a shallow, covered container within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F). Keep at 40°F or below and use within 3–4 days, or freeze portions. Reheat to 165°F.
