A wonderful quiche that’s good for any time
of day with a salad on the side. This recipe is so flexible that you

the quinoa gives the pie a crispy layer at the bottom while also
providing you with plenty of protein and fiber!

Method of preparing the Sweet Potato and
Goat Cheese Quiche:
Heat oven to 375°F. Cook the quinoa and let cool.
Mix the egg, salt, and pepper into the quinoa.
Pour the mixture into
a round, oiled baking pan, and press it down to the bottom and sides of
the pan evenly.
Bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes.
When you take the crust out of the oven, crank the oven's
temperature up to 425°F.
Mix the sweet potato, onion, leek, thyme, and olive oil and pour
into a baking paper-lined baking dish.
Bake the vegetables for 15 minutes or until soft. Make sure to turn
the vegetable over midway through cooking.
Once the vegetables are done, lower the oven's temperature back to
375°F.
In a bowl, mix the roasted vegetables with the eggs, milk, goat
cheese, salt, and pepper.
Pour the mixture into the quinoa pie crust and place back in the
oven for 30-40 minutes.
Take the quiche out of the oven once it’s golden brown and let cool
before serving.
