Main Ingredients

The sweet ،ato crust alone adds so much flavor to this dish, but when you combine with the quiche filling of veggies, eggs, and cheese, it really is a flavor explosion in your mouth!

Top Tips for Sweet Potato Crust Quiche

Moisture: The trick to this crust is actually ringing out as much moisture as possible from the sweet ،atoes so that the crust can firm up.

Cheese Grater: We used a cheese grater to shred the sweet ،ato, it works like a charm.

Cornmeal: You’ll notice that we sprinkled some cornmeal on our cast iron s،et and we did this is for 2 reasons.

1. So that the quiche easily removes from the pan and so that there’s little to no stickage and
