Spinach, Feta & Caramelised Onion Quiche with Sweet Potato Crust
2 sweet potatoes
8-10 eggs
2 red onions
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 block feta cheese
few handfuls baby spinach
Salt & pepper
Preheat oven to 180
Grate the sweet potatoes, add in a beaten egg, salt and pepper and mix well.
Press the sweet potato quite firmly into a greased round dish approximate 25-30cm diameter. Cover the whole bottom, press into edges and up the sides to create your crust
Put the dish in the oven for 20-30 mins until potato is just starting to brown, then leave to cool.
Meanwhile, slice two onions and fry for about 5 mins until soft
Pour in 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar and 1tbsp brown sugar (adjust measurements for desired sweetness) and fry for about 10 minutes until caramelised then set aside
In the same pan (to save washing) wilt the spinach (be generous with your handfuls as it goes to nothing!) then set aside with onions
In a big mixing bowl beat about 7/8 large eggs with some salt and pepper, then mix in the onion, spinach and crumble in the feta
Pour the eggy filling into the sweet potato crust. (If it's not full enough just add more eggs. This depends on the dish you’re using.)
Cook at 180 for 20-25 mins until the centre in just set then take out and leave to cool to room temperature
This is a real tasty treat and goes nicely with salad or green veg! It also keeps really well so it’s good for work lunches!
