Sweet potato and goat cheese quiche with a quinoa crust

A wonderful quiche that’s good any time of day with a salad by its side. The next recipe is so flexible that you can combine almost any vegetable you find in the kitchen and the extra quinoa that gives the pie the crisp layer at the bottom does wonders in taste.
