Confession: I am a recipe junkie. I have hundreds of recipes I’ve torn out of magazines, I have countless cookbooks and I have thousands on Pinterest that I want to try. And I keep searching and subscribing and buying and pinning… It’s kind of an obsession.
When I see a recipe I want to try, it stays in the front of my mind until I make it! But even though I love and hoard recipes, I typically use them as inspiration or a guideline, rather than follow them to a T.
That’s why I love quiche! You can make it with the ingredients you and your family LOVE!
Gluten Free Quiche Crust
I found the inspiration for this gluten free quiche crust from Cooking Light magazine and had to test it out. For the record, no one in our household has a gluten allergy, but I’m always on the lookout for healthy alternatives IF they taste just as good.
Scroll down for the full quiche recipe, but for the crust, all you need is one large sweet potato. Seriously, that’s it!. I used my mandoline (I love mine because it’s adjustable) to create even 1/8″ slices.
Spray a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray and layer the sweet potato rounds, overlapping them. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes. Cool for 5 and gently use a spoon or spatula to press the sweet potato down into the pan.
Now your GF quiche crust is ready to fill with whatever your heart desires.
Quiche Filling
The beauty of quiche is you can fill it with your favorite things! For this one I chose spinach because I had a bag that needed to be used. It’s a great base for whatever veggies you have laying around or leftover bacon (blasphemy) or sausage. Customize this gluten-free quiche however you want and don’t be afraid to be adventurous!
- 5 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
