The classic flavors of broccoli, cheddar, and ham are absolutely in this quiche! However, the star of the show is definitely the sweet potato hash brown crust. It pairs absolutely beautifully with the quiche filling. And…the sweet potato hash brown crust only uses THREE ingredients!! Honestly, I find it MUCH easier to make this sweet potato crust than a traditional pie crust you have to cut in the butter and roll out and such. This sweet potato crust is also naturally gluten and grain-free, if you are looking for that! Not to mention, you’re getting even more veggies in this way. 😊 I can’t wait for you to try this quiche and see what you think for yourself!!

  • .
  • Filling:
  • 1 ½ cups chopped broccoli

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together crust ingredients: shredded sweet potatoes, garlic, egg, and salt and pepper.
  3. Press firmly into the pie pan (I coated with nonstick spray and sprinkled with flour first).
  4. Bake crust at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, while the crust in baking, whisk together eggs, milk, pepper and dried mustard in a bowl.
  6. After the crust bakes, layer broccoli, then ham, then cheddar cheese, then egg mixture into crust.
  7. Bake quiche at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
  8. Then reduce heat to 375 degrees and bake another 15-20 minutes, or until set. May want to cover with foil after baking initial 20 minutes.
