Quiche con base de boniato

Ingredientes

• 2 Sweet Potatoes (medium size orange, peeled, finely sliced)
• 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2 Garlic Clove (finely chopped)
• 1 Onion (finely chopped)
• 14 oz Frozen Spinach
• 1/4 teaspoon Ground Pepper (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 4 Eggs
• 3/4 cup Unsweetened Coconut Milk (or milk of your choice)
• 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
• 1/4 cup Grated Cheese (edam, cheddar, feta)

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

2. 2

   Grease a 9-inch (24 cm) round ceramic quiche dish with butter or coconut oil. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a frying pan, under medium heat warm the olive oil.

4. 4

   Add garlic and onion. Fry until fragrant and golden brown. Stir often to prevent the spices from burning.

5. 5

   Add the frozen spinach cover and reduce to low heat. Cook until the spinach is cooked through, soft and tender - about 15 minutes. Adjust with salt and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Meanwhile, peel the sweet potatoes then use a mandoline Vegetable Slicer to finely slice the sweet potatoes.

7. 7

   Arrange the slices on the pan making sure that you cover all the bottom leaving no empty space. For the border, cut in half the sweet potatoes slices to create a 'flat' bottom it will hold better and create a beautiful crust border.

8. 8

   Prebake the sweet potato crust at 180°C for 15 minutes. This is optional, you can also add the spinach and egg filling directly and bake your quiche - make sure you cover the dish with a piece of foil to ensure the quiche is cooking at the same speed. I prefer to prebake the crust to avoid using a foil - up to you.

9. 9

   Spread the cooked spinach all over the pre-baked sweet potatoes crust. Set aside.

10. 10

    In a medium mixing bowl beat the eggs, almond milk, and nutmeg. Adjust with salt and pepper if desired.

11. 11

    Pour the egg mixture onto the quiche.

12. 12

    Add a handful of grated cheese on the top of the quiche, if desired. If paleo, sprinkle almond meal on top instead of cheese, it gives a delicious crisp on top.

13. 13

    Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are soft and the cheese is grilled.

14. 14

    Serve immediately.
