How to make Vegetarian Quiche and a Bacon Quiche...Tony's Way

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Cottage cheese is lower in fat and calories while still providing creaminess.

sweet potatoes

🥗Healthier: cauliflower

💰Cheaper: regular potatoes

Cauliflower is lower in carbs, while regular potatoes are more affordable.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Peel and grate sweet potatoes into a bowl.

Mix grated sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Press the sweet potato mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish to form the crust.

Bake the crust for 20-25 minutes, until set and slightly golden.

While the crust bakes, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, nutmeg, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Add the sautéed vegetables and crumbled feta cheese to the egg mixture, combining well.

Pour the filling into the pre-baked sweet potato crust.

Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top, if desired.

Bake the quiche for 30-35 minutes, until the filling is set and slightly puffed.

Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
