Quiche With Sweet Potato Crust

Protein-packed and veggie-packed goodness. With savory flavors and ingredients that are easy to replace with whatever is in your refrigerator!


The easiest recipe to make and I don't feel guilty eating it! Thank you! – Tony Williams

Being a working mother is tough! One night while looking through "kid-friendly vegetable recipes" I found this gem. But the problem is that I didn't have all the same ingredients that were listed in the recipe and then I had a lightbulb idea! I made my own quiche recipe with leftovers I had in the fridge. Fast-forward to the dinner table and all 3 of my picky-eaters scarfed the quiche down and asked for seconds. Working mom for the win!!!

Tell me what ingredients YOU customized in this recipe? Did you decide to go vegetarian and substitute all the meats? Did you use a different kind of cheese?? I can't wait to hear your take on this healthy meal!
