This easy, absolutely delicious quiche is one of those keep-forever recipes that you keep coming back to month after month because it’s so good, simple, and nutritious.
The best part and obviously, the most fun is that it’s technically a crustless quiche (we’re using sweet potatoes as the crust!).
I’ve made this crustless goat cheese quiche countless times over the years for breakfast & holiday brunches (looking at you, Easter!), but mostly crave it for lunch with a side of thick avocado toast and Cholula, or sometimes almond butter toast with bananas for that gold old sweet and savory combo.
Ingredients in this healthy quiche
This spinach and goat cheese quiche is a house favorite here at AK — for both breakfast and lunch! It’s seriously FANTASTIC and bangin’ with flavaaaaaa even while using simple ingredients. And don’t worry if you don’t have the veggies the recipe calls for, it can easily be changed up based on what’s in your fridge, including using up leftovers! Here’s what you’ll need:
- Sweet potato: to create the delicious gluten free crust.
- Eggs: for the quiche, of course!
- Almond milk: to make the quiche nice and fluffy — although you could use whatever milk you’d like.
- Veggies: I used onion, tomato, and spinach in this recipe, but feel free to mix in your favorites.
- Goat cheese: or any cheese you’d like! I love goat cheese or feta but you can also omit to keep this gluten free quiche dairy free as well.
- Salt & pepper: to bring out all of the flavors.
Chances are you already have these ingredients in your fridge, which makes this sweet potato crust quiche the perfect breakfast or lunch to throw together. Since it was so outstanding, I also highly recommend it for get-togethers like Easter brunch!
How do you make a sweet potato crust?
It’s time we talk about this beautiful sweet potato crust. Yep, that’s right — a crust made from sweet potatoes. I got the idea from Cooking Light a few years ago and there was no turning back. It’s so easy! To make it:
- Cut a large sweet potato into 1/8 inch slices so that they cook through well.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Add your sweet potato slices all around the base (as the photo shows in the picture below). Cut some in half if you need them to fit on the sides.
- Spray the sweet potatoes with additional nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes. Once done, remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Keep heat in oven. Then the sweet potato crust is ready for the filling!
Traditional crusts found in most quiche recipes are filled with butter and flour, so this sweet potato crust is the perfect low carb, gluten & grain free option. It also adds a nice touch of sweetness, which I love. This sweet potato crust quiche is also paleo friendly! Simply leave out the goat cheese. If you aren’t into sweet potatoes, try it with regular potatoes instead.
Customize this low carb spinach and goat cheese quiche
The filling is packed with fresh veggies like onion, spinach and tomato, but you can add any veggies you like. I prefer to cook my veggies first, then add them over the crust. Here are some suggestions if you want to make this your own:
- Mushroom: saute 8 oz baby bella mushrooms along with onion, spinach and your fav cheese
- Meat lovers: add cooked bacon, turkey bacon, ham or even some cooked sausage!
- Broccoli cheddar: add finely chopped broccoli and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
- The “Denver”: add chopped ham, diced green bell pepper and diced chopped onion
The options are endless to truly make this spinach and goat cheese quiche recipe your own. Nom. Nom. Nom.
How to store this spinach and goat cheese quiche
This spinach and goat cheese quiche recipe will keep in the fridge for up to one week, so you can enjoy a healthy, easy breakfast or lunch all week long. It’s also great for prepping ahead of time for weekend brunches! Simply place the completely-cooled quiche into an airtight container (or completely cover the pan) and store it in the fridge.
When you’re ready to eat it, just reheat individual slices in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. You can also reheat slices in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 10-15 minutes or reheat then entire pan for 20-30 minutes.
Freezer-friendly sweet potato crust quiche
- To freeze quiche: let the spinach and goat cheese quiche completely cool, then transfer individual slices to freezer-safe bags or containers for up to 3 months. You can also freeze the entire quiche at once if you have a large enough freezer-safe bag or container.
- To reheat frozen quiche: you can either let the quiche slices thaw in the refrigerator before reheating them in the microwave, or you can simply place them straight into the microwave and heat them for about 1 minute. To reheat an entire frozen quiche you can put it back in the oven at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until warm in the middle.
What to serve with this spinach and goat cheese quiche
I love topping this sweet potato crust quiche with hot sauce and avocado slices because ya girl likes it spicy. It’s also delicious with:
- An english muffin or slice of toast (this recipe makes the best piece of toast!)
- Perfectly Crispy Roasted Breakfast Potatoes or even my Garlic Fingerling Potatoes
- A delicious slices of Healthier Carrot Cake Banana Bread with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting for the perfect Easter brunch!
- Make it more of a lunch with my Everything Spring Green Salad with Basil Lemon Vinaigrette
- Or get your sweet tooth fix with Healthy Lemon Poppyseed Muffins with Lemon Blueberry Glaze
I hope you love this easy spinach and goat cheese quiche with sweet potato crust. If you make it, please leave a comment and rating so that I know how you liked it! I really appreciate it. xo!

Hi!
Love, live and eat by your food posts!! However, the recipe print link doesn’t work any more for my phone, anyone else?
always game for quiche! what i’m really interested by is the sweet potato crust, though; it sounds delicious (i definitely don’t use sweet potatoes for savory things enough) and somehow you got the quiche filling to not leak weirdly past the sweet potato slices (or at least it looks like that)!
That sweet potato crust is brilliant! I start my day much later, rolling in to work at 9 am after chugging some green tea and rushing out the door 🙂 Working out first thing is great though because you don’t have time to give yourself excuses.
Since we switched over to daylight saving time this past weekend, could you please post the time of your Facebook live accordingly? Thanks.
Can you tell me where the speckled plate is from? I’m stocking my registry for my September wedding and these look similar to the set I picked out from Crate and Barrel, except I like yours better! Thanks!
First of all, this looks like a great recipe to make for Passover, though I’ll probably skip the goat cheese. I am also a huge fan of almond blossoms. We have pink and white where I live :https://israelisalad.wordpress.com/2017/02/08/tu-bshvat-and-groundhog-day-food-for-thought/

Love the use of sweet potato as the crust! I am so embarrassed that just recently I realized what almond trees look like!! They are beautiful!! And it was fun to learn that Blue Diamond is a co-op!! Thanks for the fun fact. Their unsweetened plain almond milk is my fave store bought version.
Yum!! Love this spin on the traditional quiche! My morning routine is so similar- wake up by the cat, get a workout in to start the day, then work work work! Onlyyyy I wish my work was recipes and photos all day too ☺️
I can’t wait to try this recipe, I love sweet potatoes and quiche and goat cheese so it sounds perfect.
Do you think it would work to use six whole eggs instead of the combination of whole eggs and egg whites?
Each time I’ve made it I’ve used 6 eggs instead of egg/egg whites and it works just fine 🙂
This looks so good, but I just can’t do cooked spinach. Do you think kale would be a good substitute?
Yum and more yum!
I’m loving the thought of this recipe! And you’re right – it’s perfect for lazy mornings when you don’t want to get out of bed to cook!
This quiche is INCREDIBLE! My sister and I devoured this delicious quiche within 2 days! Thank you so much for this healthy recipe! 🙂
OF course, so so happy you liked it!
Do you think I could cut the slices of sweet potato thinner and layer them in the pan? Or would I have to change the cooking instructions then?
Thanks for always posting amazing stuff!
can’t wait to try this over the weekend! Since I need more than 6 slices I’m thinking of using my 13 inch cast iron pan. Do you have any recommendations for altering the recipe for this attempt? Appreciate it! thank you!
Hi! I love your recipes and was even more excited to see this one and that you had the chance to visit some Blue Diamond Growers! My husband grows almonds for them in the Central Valley! Thanks for sharing your experience. It’s fun to see people get to learn about how they are grown.
Can’t wait to try this recipe!!!
DREAMING of these right now!
I made this today for Easter brunch, and it was SO good. My husband has already requested that I make this again. Thanks for the great recipe!
First made this when house-sitting for a friend…. found the recipe in Where Women Cook magazine/
Spring 2015 and have been making it ever since!! The combo of goat cheese, plus almond milk add flavors that are fantastic!! Thanks for adding this one to pinterest and Easter 2017!
This is the perfect brunch dish! Can you tell me where you got the serving spatula? I love it!
I am
sure your quiche tastes great, but you need to speed up your delivery when giving the ingredients and not talk to your friend as this takes up a lot of time. Also, please stop touching your hair while cooking! Thanks for the recipe – I will try it this week. Just speed everything up a bit for those of us with not too much time to spend in front of the computer.
She can make her videos however she chooses…it’s her page. If you don’t want to take the time to watch it, just skip to the written recipe.

You are amazing with this post. Thanks for posting such information
This recipe is AH-MAZE-INGGGGGGGGGG! I made it with purple sweet potato because my grocery store didn’t have the regular ones, worked just as well and tastes so good!
It’s one of my favorites! The purple sweet potatoes sound awesome for the crust!
Right…PRINT does not work. Can you fix that, please?
Thanks!
I like the helpful info you provide in your articles.I’ll bookmark your blog and check again here frequently.I am quite sure I’ll learn a lot of new stuff right here! Good luck for the next!
This quiche was delicious Monique, but as strange as this may sound, I actually enjoyed it straight from the fridge more than hot. On to the Thai peanut chicken wraps for dinner tonight!
I’m so glad you liked it, Paula! And trust me – I eat my egg dishes straight from the fridge often 😉 Enjoy the wraps!
I made the quiche and it did taste amazing, but I agree with another comment on here that the live post is just far too long!!! I would prefer that you just got on with it without all the preamble and waffling. In the end I just followed the printed recipe as it was really irritating listening to inane comments and conversation. That aside the food was superb.
Hi Wendy! To pair with this recipe I wanted to share the amazing experience I had with at the Blue Diamond Orchard. I used their almondmilk in the recipe, and am thankful for the time I spent there 🙂 Glad you enjoyed the recipe!
As I have egg intolerance, there could also be a substitute for eggs?
I wouldn’t recommend an egg substitute for a quiche!
I made this quiche for dinner one night last week for my husband and me. It is delicious, has a resonable amount of calories and very nutritious – all things I look for in a recipe. I love sweet potatoes and so this was a no-brainer for me to try. It will definitely be part of my rotation of meals to prepare. I also plan to make it as a breakfast/brunch dish next week with a group of ladies that are coming to my house for breakfast.
So glad you both enjoyed! I love making this for both brunch and dinner – great amount of protein and perfect for serving a group 🙂
Sounds so yummy! Love the sweet potato crust idea. Has anyone made this the night before and reheated in the morning? Or somehow easily prepared it overnight so it’s easy to put in the oven in the morning?
This will keep well if you make it the night before! I usually make one on Sunday and enjoy it for lunch all week 😉
Dear Monique!
I just came across your website today looking for something healthy and fun to do with bananas and oatmeal. I tried your “Two Ingredient Banana Oatmeal Cookies”. Thank you! Very good and so easy. Then I so enjoyed seeing all of your side margin videos of other enticing recipes! When I saw this one of “Spinach and Goat Cheese Quiche with Sweet Potato Crust”, I had to watch your video. What fun to be in your kitchen and watch it being made “real time”. Thank you. You definitely have a Gift of creating great things to eat which incorporate health-conscious foods like GF, non-dairy, low/no sugar, veggies, etc. In fact, who you so naturally are and how you present yourself on this website is sooooo inspiring– in the kitchen and in life. So grateful for someone like you, living your passion and sharing with the world. Bless you!
Much Gratitude,

Hi JulieBelle! Thanks so much for your note! I’m glad you’re finding some great go-to recipes here 🙂 Hope you find some more favorites, and have a great rest of your week!
This recipe is sent from heaven. I loved everything about it. I am working on all of the other recipes on this Thanksgiving break!💚
The flavors all go together so well. I loved this recipe. I added chopped bacon and sauteed garlic too, not as light, but also complimented it very well. Thanks Monique for another amazing dish. I haven’t tries one yet that I didn’t like!
Chopped bacon + garlic sounds delicious in here! This one’s perfect for adding in your favs 🙂 So glad you’re finding some great recipes here!
I have read through other blogs, but they are cumbersome and confusing more than your post. I hope you continue to have such quality articles to share with everyone! I believe a lot of people will be surprised to read this article!

Great, a very good breakfast
Excellent, a favorite recipe.
So happy to hear that!
This looks fabulous! Not such a fan of goat cheese though.. any suggestions for replacements?
This one’s perfect for customizing! Feel free to leave the goat cheese out or use any other cheese that you like 🙂
Awesome, thanks so much!! Such a huge fan of you and your recipes- you are 100% my weekly go-to for cooking inspo 🙂
This recipe is sent from heaven. I loved everything about it. I am working on all of the other recipes on this Thanksgiving break!💚
So happy to hear that! Enjoy your break 🙂
Absolutely delicious!! We actually ate it for dinner instead of breakfast. The only thing I would change is more seasoning. Can’t wait to try it again with different mix-ins like chicken sausage and mushrooms.
Love this for dinner, too! And it’s perfect for customizing 🙂
I love your recipes and following your posts and emails !! I am excited to try this recipe!
So happy to hear that Pam! Hope you love this one 🙂
Hi, great recipe. I don’t like tomato. What can I use instead? Thanks for advance ❤️
Hi! Feel free to just leave it out or swap it for another veggie like red bell pepper 🙂
This was excellent! I threw in some turkey sausage, green and red peppers, and mushrooms. The spice of the jalapeno along with the sweetness of the sweet potato is to die for. This is definitely going into my meal prep rotation. Only issue was the crust…I didn’t account for the shrinkage of the potatoes. I think that the next time i make it, i’m going to grate the sweet potatoes so that i have an even layer. Thanks for the recipe!
That sounds delicious! Love a good turkey sausage. Usually the potatoes still stick nicely in crust-form to the egg layer, but let me know how the grated sweet potatoes goes.
Love to reading your posts, you are such a natural and nice person and have proven that healthy can be and is very delisious good! I will try this defo!and Im so happy I found your blog 😁
Thanks so much! Hope you find some new recipes you love 🙂
Love this quiche dish. Yum!
Hi!!! This is delicious Ive done it a few times now but I was wondering what can you make before hand one day before? I have a brunch at home and want to do the less possible the day of the event
Hi! So glad you love it. And of course! It will be perfect if you make it ahead of time. You can make it and bake it for 10 minutes less, then then next day finish baking it in the oven for 15-20 more minutes to finish cooking and heating up.
Sounds great want to make it this morning snowed in can I sub regular milk for almond milk? Is it four eggs plus four egg whites? Thanks. Will post real review soon
Yes regular milk will work just fine, and it’s four eggs plus four egg whites 🙂 enjoy!
Wonderful! Even my hubby liked it!
So happy to hear that!
I was a bit hesitant making this but I read through the comments (always helpful to hear from people who have made the recipe vs those who state they think it sounds good but haven’t actually made it!) It was really good. I followed the recipe as stated with the only change being I added a bit of shredded cheddar on top of the feta. Everyone enjoyed it. I will definitely make this again
Perfect! Great idea with adding a little cheddar – yum 🙂
This was so easy to make and my whole family loved it! Thank you for such a great recipe!
Amazing! I’m so glad 🙂
I am widowed and live alone. This recipe is easy, delicious and one person can easily eat it because it keeps well and works for any meal. This is a keeper for me. Thanks for posting.
So glad you found this one! Love it for meal prepping for the week 🙂
Made this today! Super easy and delicious, thank you!
Glad you loved it!
I made the wonderful quiche this morning. I added onion, garlic, mushrooms, spinach and a herbed goat cheese. IT WAS FENOMINAL! Will definitely be making again.
Delicious! Glad you loved it!
I’m not great with pie crusts, so the sweet potato crust is brilliant and tastes even better than a traditional pie crust!
Absolutely! So easy and delicious 🙂
Delicious! My mom and I made this to enjoy for breakfast for the week while we are having extra time at home. All of the flavors were delicious together! We will definitely be making this again!
So good! Glad you both enjoyed 🙂
First time making an ambitious kitchen recipe and I am hooked! This is a great healthier alternative for quiche. And it’s super easy. 🙂
So happy you loved it!
Sweet potato crust is beyond brilliant! This recipe is a keeper for sure.
So good!! Glad you loved this one!
Super easy and yummy! Held up nicely for my WFH work week. Easy to make it your own as well. I didn’t have goat cheese or tomatoes in quarantine so I add peppers, artichokes, kalamata olives, and feta instead. I also ended up making mine in a casserole dishes, since I didn’t have a pie tin. Love this recipe and you will too!
Delicious! This one’s great for customizing. Glad you loved it!
I’ve been using this recipe for a while and figured I would leave a rating!! Love it! It is absolutely delicious!! I usually end up using just regular milk and sub sun-dried tomatoes if I don’t have fresh ones, but it has never disappointed!!
Amazing! Thanks so much for your comment & rating 🙂 one of my favs, too!
Wow! I usually find egg dishes one-note and a little boring. This recipe has changed my mind. I love the sweet potato crust (making a pastry crust is intimidating), it adds such a nice subtle sweetness to the dish and contrasts perfectly with tangy goat cheese. The eggs were super fluffy, and I loved all the veggie goodness packed in there. I’ve already shared this with several friends and will definitely make again and again!
Absolutely! So happy you loved this one!
Easy to make and absolutely delish!!
Glad you loved it!!
My go-to brunch recipe when I have guests over! People go crazy for it and they don’t need to know how easy it is to make 🙂 I love adding mushrooms!
I have been making this quiche on repeat, just switching up the veggies/meat/cheese based on what we have in the fridge! If I wanted to make a bigger version in a 9×13 pan, how would the recipe change? Any idea how many eggs and how much milk?
Love that! I would just double it! 🙂
This quiche was delicious and perfect for Passover. I loved the sweetness of th sweet potato crust contrasting with the funk of the goat cheese. I’ll definitely be making this one again, especially next Passover.
Absolutely! Such great flavors in here. Glad you loved it!
This recipe is amazing! I made it ahead to have for lunch while working from home. I like how easy it is to prepare, and love the idea of the sweet potato “crust”. I added some canned artichokes which worked nicely. Since I don’t have a pie pan, I used a 10-inch oven-safe skillet and it worked very well. Definitely a winner!
Absolutely! Such a great work from home lunch (and perfect for customizing!)
This was delicious! Just what we were hoping for! Finally, a healthy quiche that taste amazing. Will be a new weekend favorite. Only thing I would do differently next time is layer the sweet potato crust more/thicker.
Thank you!!
Perfect brunch recipe! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
A wonderful tasty different dish, i would love more!
this quiche is it. I stg this is the best quiche I’ve ever made, and I loved the sweet potato crust!!! 10/10 recommend
Glad you loved it!!
Made this sweet potato crust quiche with beetroot and goats cheese, very tasty
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
I made this quiche for Mother’s Day brunch today and WOW. I was blown away by how delicious this recipe was!! So easy, minimal clean up required, and it tasted like it was from a fine dining restaurant! Served with mixed greens with a light and lemony vinegarette, and some fresh berries. I will be dreaming of this quiche until I make it again, which will not be long!
One of my favorite brunch recipes! So happy everyone loved it!
This is a very useful recipe and page. What I loved most was the recommendations for substitutions and ways to change it up. I think that is the best thing about this recipe. And of course, it tastes great. Granted, I substituted whole milk for almond milk, gruyere for goat cheese, green chard for spinach (that’s what my produce box had), and added 6 oz crimini mushrooms, and half a package of vegan bacon (diced) from Butcher’s son – a legendary vegan restaurant in Berkeley. This is exactly what we are supposed to do with this recipe. I have passed your link on to all of my friends. I am hoping that they will enjoy making this quiche as much as I have. There were, unfortunately no leftovers to freeze. There were four of us, two were major meat eaters. There were not leftovers, therefore, this dish will appear again. Fabulous and versatile recipe! Thank you!!!
PS – I made it on Mother’s Day and served it with a spinach salad with watermelon, red onions, Feta cheese and spinach. There were no leftovers.
Amazing! So happy everyone loved this one. It’s perfect for customizing with what you have on-hand!
Such a delicious recipe. Easy to make. Great the next day. My kiddos love it as well! Love the ingredients.
Amazing! I’m so glad the kids loved it, too 🙂
Loved this recipe. Made as per recipe. Thought it needed to be more flavorful. But would definitely make again. Liked the note on variations.
Filling and delicious!!!
This one’s great for customizing – feel free to add a bit more salt & pepper or your favorite veggies 🙂 glad you enjoyed!
So good and easy, the sweet potato crust is a fun addition!
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed!
Have made this twice already and it’s a staple in our household now! My husband loves it and requests it every weekend. Thanks for the yummy and healthy recipe!
So happy to hear that! One of our favs, too 🙂
This was delicious! I used mushroom and broccoli instead of spinach because that is what I had on hand. My husband actually ate it and said it was tasty even though there was no meat in it. The sweet potato was an awesome change to this type of breakfast dish.
Perfect! Such a great breakfast!
I have just made the recipe and it turned out delicious! I added some mushrooms to the spinach mixture and used some sheep cheese instead of goat cheese. All the rest was exactly like the recipe. Thank you
That sounds delicious! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
Made this today with zucchini instead of spinach because that’s what I had on hand. Delicious and so easy!!
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed!
I love it! Used Peruvian camote instead of sweet potato and lactose free milk. So easy and delicious, thank you!
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
This was absolutely delicious. I left out the meat and cheese, added lots of mushrooms, spinach, broccoli and asparagus.
I will be having this again soon and can definitely serve this recipe to company.
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
THIS IS SO EASY AND DELICIOUS! I MAKE IT EVERY OTHER WEEK FOR AN EASY-TO-HEAT-UP BREAKFAST!
Amazing! So happy to hear that!
Love this quiche. I used garlic and herb goat cheese and used only 2ounces instead of 4 because I didn’t want the herbs to over power the quiche. It’s very tasty and I need a lower carb crust. I’m a huge fan of sweet potatoes so this was a win win. I also used 3 eggs and 4 egg whites as a sub and added quartered zucchini as a forth veggie
Perfect! Love the idea of a flavored goat cheese in here. Yum!
Great recipe! I’ve started making this once a week and having it for lunch with a side salad.
Love that idea! Perfect lunch.
So delicious!!! We made one quiche in a square baking dish (don’t have a pie pan) and after eating almost the whole thing, immediately made another!
Perfect! Such a great breakfast (lunch & dinner!)
What a great idea of using sweet potato slices for the crust! I had a small piece of leftover salmon to which I added sautéed broccoli and onion. Cheddar cheese was what I had on hand so that’s what I went with! Oh and I had a small amount of tomato that I tossed on top. It was beautiful and SO delicious! This recipe is so flexible
Perfect! I love adding leftover salmon to egg dishes, too!
I used the red pepper and added mushrooms. Everything in the recipe are my faves. Will try zucchini next time cause I will do this again.
Perfect! So glad you enjoyed!
This was super easy and so delicious. I’m thinking it’s a cross between a quiche and a frittata. We love it. I mixed some of the goat cheese into the egg to get some throughly and then sprinkled some on top. So many possibilities if you vary the veggies. Loved it.
Abslutely! Such a great breakfast 🙂
A good basic grain free quiche. I really like the sweet potato crust. Kind of boring, though, overall. My instinct was to add some herbs and I didn’t but it could have used some flavor to punch it up. Good basic quiche though.
Feel free to customize as you like!
Can I substitute the sweet potatoes for yams? I seem to have bought yams for this recipe accidentally and I’m not sure if I can still make this great sounding quiche.
Yes that will work just fine!
Made this today for brunch……soooooo good! I added diced red bell pepper and topped with sliced tomato. My guest and I agreed that this recipe is a keeper! Searching your site to see what recipe to try. =)
Love it! So happy to hear that!
this was so tasty! I enjoyed it so much! I used leeks instead of white onions and it turned out great. So glad I tried this 🙂
Love it! Glad you enjoyed!
This quiche came out SO good! It was super simple to make and now I have a healthy breakfast for the whole week. I just added some extra veggies since that’s what I’ve been craving lately. Love this so much!!
So happy to hear that!
This has been in my rotation for a while. Love the sweet potato crust idea! I bring it to the cottage for brunch and everyone loves it!
I made this without the crust (I didn’t have sweet potatos, but it sounds yummy!) And with a yellow pepper instead of tomatoes. It was really great and super easy to make!
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed!
Really great recipe!
Glad you enojyed!
Could this recipe be used for mini muffin quiches? I’m thinking a slice of sweet potato fitting at the bottom of each for that ingenious crust.
And can I use only egg whites? I’m allergic to egg yolks.
Wonderful!
Glad you enjoyed!
Loved this recipe! Changed the crust to one with almond flour and increased salt to one tsp. I’ll be making this lots.
Perfect! Such a great go-to 🙂
This was a great foundation recipe! Given the proportions (and type) of milk and eggs, this does not have a custard-y texture like a true quiche, but is more like a hybrid between a quiche and frittata. The sweet potato crust was awesome although some of the egg filling seeped through to the bottom and was a little over cooked, I’ll be more careful next time to ensure full coverage even if it’s a bit thicker. Great way to use up any leftover veggies, cheese, deli meat at the end of the week.
This was great for customizing! And noted on the bottom crust – try adding some more sweet potato slices even if they’re a little thinner. That should help!
This was the perfect, quick, delicious weeknight meal. We had it for dinner warm and cold the next day for breakfast. Thank you for this recipe. It’s officially added to our rotation!
The best! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
I’ve made this quiche several times. It’s delicious, so pretty, and easy to customize (different veggies/bacon or sausage). However, I got a little confident the last time I made it and decided to skip the measuring. Totally fine for everything…but the milk! Lesson learned. 🙂 Can’t wait to make it for Easter (and to measure the milk –ha!).
Perfect for customizing! Will be even better measuring the milk out 😉 Glad you enjoyed!
Looking forward to making this quiche!
Hope you love it!
We love all the recipes , healthy, easy to make and delicious 🤤
So happy to hear that!
Made this for our dinner. Easy to prepare, good flavor and will add this recipe to mycollection.
Love it! Glad you enjoyed.

Used bell pepper and a handful of tomatoes + kale in place of spinach. And mozzarella in place of goat cheese because it’s all I had in my fridge. That saying, this recipe is super adaptable and sooo delicious! I love the savory salty contrast with the sweet potatoes. Will make again!!
Perfect! Love customizing this one. Glad you enjoyed!
This was fantastic! My mother even liked it and she is particularly fussy. 🙂
So happy to hear that!
Delish! I made mine with red bell pepper, spinach and onion. Will definitely make again!
Sounds delicious! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
I absolutely love this quiche! I have made it multiple times because it is SO good! It tastes amazing and is healthy! The most recent time that I made it I used sun-dried tomatoes and it added great flavor to it. I have also made it with feta cheese which works just as great as the goat cheese. If you haven’t made this quiche yet, I highly recommend it! It is one of my favorites!
So happy to hear that! Perfect for customizing 🙂
This is such a beautiful and impressive looking dish. It tastes great too. I make this on Sunday and it’s my lunch for the week. I add hot sauce after reheating. Also a great dish to serve at brunch.
Love that! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
Would it taste strange to sub cashew milk? Can’t have almonds….
Cashew milk will work just fine!
This was so good! I added a little garlic and cooked for about 35 min. I can’t wait to try some other variations too.
Perfect! Such a great breakfast (or any meal!)
Fantastic dish!! Swapped tomatoes for red peppers and was still amazing. Will definitely make again
Perfect! This one’s great for customizing with any veggies 🙂
Such a great, healthy recipe! Loved the sweet potato crust. I used tomato, onion, mushroom and bell pepper with some shredded grueyer cheese.
Absolutely! This one’s perfect for customizing 🙂
Wonderful easy to follow recipe that comes together nicely and tastes delicious!
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
This is my absolute favorite quiche, my family makes it all the time and never disappoints! 5/5!!
I’m so glad!!
This was such a hit on Easter morning! I used halved cherry tomatoes instead of a Roma and also added in mushrooms. This dish is extremely flavorful from just the vegetables alone and the goat cheese takes it over the top.
Love it! Perfect brunch 🙂
I’ve made this multiple times and it’s always delicious. Love that you can easily substitute different filling ingredients.
Easy & delicious! 🙂
Easy to make and ridiculously delicious!
Glad you enjoyed!
This recipe is unbelievably good! I don’t even normally like quiche, and I can’t wait to make this again. The potato crust is everything. I used feta and kale because that was what I had and it was great, definitely recommend feta if you don’t have goat cheese or want to switch it up
This one’s perfect for customizing! Glad you loved it!
Soo easy and great for getting veggies in and cleaning out the fridge! Delicious with the sweetness from the sweet potato crust and the savory from the eggs and veggies!
Absolutely! My go-to for brunches and even dinners 🙂
The BEST and most creative twist on a classic quiche. My husband loved it! Looking forward to trying the other combinations, but loved the spinach and goat cheese! Easy prep, delicious and filling!
So happy to hear that!!
Made this for Easter brunch and it was a huge hit! Even my 11 month old who doesn’t like eggs loved it! Did onion, red bell pepper, spinach, and feta. Delicious and so easy!!
Amazing! Love that!
The best quiche ever!
Glad you love it!!
Such a great, tasty and healthy recipe!! Thank you so much for the fantastic directions, info, amazing pictures, and all the effort this obviously took! So helpful and useful and DELICIOUS! Who needs potatoes or high-carb crust when you can do Sweet potatoes!?!
I used Oat Milk instead of Almond, and was fantastic. And used 2 small sweet potatoes for little more hearty of a crust. Amazing! Thanks again, Monique, for being Ambitious!
I’m so happy you loved it and found the post helpful, Laura!! That means a lot 🥰
I have made this recipe 4 times already! It is a favorite among friends and family.
It is very tasty and healthy. I followed the recipe exactly as it was written.
The sweet potatoes, the goat cheese , the spinach was delicious!
Thank you for sharing this awesome quiche recipe!
I’m so happy you’re loving this one, Jo!! One of my fav brunch recipes 🙂
I make this recipe a lot! It’s a lot easier to make the sweet potato crust than dealing with a traditional crust and it has all my favorite things (goat cheese!). My baby loves it too. I add mushrooms.
Super yummy. Had for dinner with salad & rice. Used swiss chard ve spinach and perfect!!
I’ve made this recipe several times and it’s delicious! I’m wondering if I could double it and make in a 9 x 13 baking dish… I would like to make it for Easter and I’m serving a crowd. Would love any imput from anyone who has tried it.
Hi, Deb! Yes that should definitely work. Hope you and your guests love it!
This quiche is way good! What a cool concept with the tater crust, I’ll be doing that from now on – it allows me to inhale a biscuit or bread on the side sans guilt. 🙂 I did add a little Italian seasoning, it added something. And had to ditch 1 egg cuz my pie dish was too small, but overall a huge lunch success. The goat cheese is divine. Thanks as Always!!!
Thanks so much, Abby! SO happy it came out amazing 🙂 Love the idea of adding Italian seasoning too!
This was a hit with my family. Will definitely be making this again!! Delish
I’m so glad you all loved it, Mo! Thank you!
Made this for Easter Brunch and it was east to make and very tasty. Loved by everyone. Used red pepper in lieu of tomatoes and goat cheese with yellow onion and spinach. Will make again for sure. Served with a salad.
Nice! It’s super flexible with the veggies 🙂 Glad you loved it!
This recipe was wonderful!! I used it as a guide, substituting with what I had on hand. I used skim milk, frozen spinach, cut up ham and shredded white cheddar cheese. I loved the sweet potato crust! So great!! I will continue making this with whatever is in my fridge that week 🙂 also I used an 8×8 glass baking dish because I didn’t have a pie pan and it still turned out great!
That all sounds amazing! I’m so happy it turned out delicious and that the 8×8 pan worked well 🙂
the best quiche I ever made! Great recipe, thanks! I threw in some turkey sausage I had leftover from pizza night and some onions.
So easy to make and super delicious. My mom and my sister loved it
Would it be possible le for you to make the recipes more compact so they can be copied on only a few pages or double-sided?
I’d suggest clicking the “print recipe” button! That shouldn’t be too long 🙂
This sounds/looks amazing but we don’t eat eggs. Is there a substitute for them?
Sorry, I wouldn’t recommend subbing them because eggs are one of the core ingredients. Wish I could recommend a sub!
I love making frittata, I think using a sweet potato crust made it more filling. I will make this again, it was delicious
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed.
I have made this more than a dozen times. It is so versatile! I’ve use purple yams as crust, fillings of bacon, ham, cheddar, lesco (Hungarian pepper stew), carmelized onions, fresh tomatoes. Whatever in the kitchen works. I also find fresh herbs added before pouring egg in and a little extra on top is also a big hit. Just watch that the filling isn’t too liquidy. Thanks for an amazing base recipe!!
Love all those additions!! I’m so happy you’re a fan. Thanks for commenting, Tina!

I appreciate the time and effort you put into developing and sharing this recipe, and I’m sure many people will enjoy trying it out in their own kitchens. Keep up the great work! Special thanks from (https://vanityroofing.ca)
I’ve made this multiple times for weekend getaways – such a crowd pleaser!!
Yay! I am excited to hear this recipe is a hit 🙂
I don’t eat eggs. Do you think it would work with JustEgg? . Thanks.
I have honestly never tested this recipe with JustEggs before, not sure how it will turn out since eggs are a pretty important ingredient in this recipe.
Soooo delicious!! I saw this and new I needed to try it and it did not disappoint!! So yum!!! I love the sweet potato crust so much! The only thing I added was a dash of nutmeg and hot sauce to the eggs too. My family loves it! Love this healthy alternative to the traditional crust. Will be making this again and again I’m sure!
Thank you for this recipe!! I really want to try it. Do you peel your sweet potato? I cant tell in the video.
Nope, you don’t peel them!
This recipe is perfect. I don’t normally add reviews, but this one deserves it. I did add pieces of turkey bacon- highly recommend… so yummy. Making this every week from now on!
Aw thank you so much, means a lot, Britt. So glad you are loving this quiche, it’s one of my faves!
YUM! So glad you’re loving this quiche and it turned out great for you. I appreciate your review ❤️
I love your recipes. Thanks for the great website & for sharing!! I just wish I Was more ambitious!! Made the healthy peanut butter banana muffins recently. Oh. My. Geez. DeeLish!! Very interested in trying the sweet potato crust quiche. Will report Back 🙂
Aw thank you so much, this means a lot! Glad you are loving my recipes, lmk how this quiche turns out for you!
Delicious recipe, I increased the amount of sweet potatoes, onion & cheese! Love this & make it once a week it’s so good
Yum! SO glad you’re loving this recipe and it turned out great for you ❤️
This is very satisfying & delicious! I added mushrooms, and drained the excess liquid. I used grape tomatoes, and vegan Parmesan mixed in, with vegan feta cheese on top. So good. Next time I’ll make sure to really fill in the sides of the dish with sweet potato slices as they shrunk the most. I also cut little pieces to fill in all the holes on the bottom. I like the ease of the recipe and how you can add or omit whatever you’d like. Thank you for another great recipe!
AH yay! Love this so much, Amy! Glad you gave this recipe a try and it turned out great for you. Love the versatility of this recipe, so fun and delicious! 🙂
Very tasty recipe! I made it twice and both were delicious. The first time I made it mostly as written with fresh spinach and feta with white sweet potatoes. The second time, I had fresh swiss chard and I tossed the sweet potatoes with EVOO and the sprinkled on cajun seasoning after I lined the potatoes in the dish. I had family visiting and we all just loved it!
Woahh this sounds so amazing, Susan. I am so glad you’re loving this recipe and it turned out amazinggg for you ❤️
I am not a chef or baker, but this recipe was pretty easy and quiche was such a hit with my entire family! They commented this could be served in a famous restaurant. Thanks to you and your team, wishing you continued success and yumyness, Blessings.
Aw thank you, that is the highest compliment!! I’m so glad you all loved it.
Wow!! So good. I was a bit concerned with how much the sweet potato shrinks when baked, so I added extra and layered it, and it was perfect! I hate half the pie myself… lol.
Love that! Such a great recipe for any meal 🙂
This is the perfect recipe to make for a postpartum mom! Healthy and easy to heat up.
Absolutely! One of my go-to recipes for any meal of the day 🙂
Looks delicious. Would it be okay to use all egg whites or mostly egg whites instead of the whole egg? I have high cholesterol
Yes, that should be just fine! You might just need more egg whites than the full eggs that recipe calls for 🙂
Delicious! I added mushrooms and roasted cauliflower. Your recipes are so good, but I also like that they can be adapted to my fridge contents. 😃
Absolutely! This one’s great for customizing 🙂
This was good! Did diced red pepper as the suggested sub for tomatoes and also used regular milk. I was worried the sweet potatoes shrunk down too much on the sides, but the egg mixture provides enough structure when it’s cooked that it make a nice slice!
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed!
I made exactly as written. Sooooo good! Loved the sweetness of the potato paired with the goat cheese. Delicious! Will make again soon!
Absolutely! Glad you loved it!
Delicious! Perfect exactly as written. I had the leftovers for dinner. Thank you!
Love it! Glad you enjoyed!
I loved this! The only thing I did differently was to add some red pepper flakes and minced garlic to the spinach, as well as some nutmeg to the egg mixture.
I also recommend making sure your sweet taters go as high up on the sides as possible to keep in the eggs. I also liked them cut slightly thicker than 1/8″ because the thinner slices started shriveling.
Lots of great options for this and I’d never have thought to use sweet potatoes as a “crust” but I’m hooked! Thanks for the great recipe!
Love that! And yes great tip for the potatoes on the side 🙂
Genius! This quiche is a new family fav.
So good! One of our favs, too 🙂
I made this for a ladies brunch and it was a big hit! I love the sweet potato crust! Next time I need to slice the potato a bit thinner and overlap the slices so that when it shrinks when it bakes, I don’t have gaps. It still turned out though! I used feta instead of goat cheese because that’s what I had.
Perfect! This one’s great for customizing with any veggies + cheese you have on hand 🙂
Hi there! I have been making your quiche (and loving it) for years now and completely forgot to post this! I have tried so many ingredient variations and have loved all of them! The sweet potato crust is the best idea ever! I usually have a sweet potato handy and just sauté whatever veggies I have on hand. Onion or shallot, zucchini or asparagus, chopped cooked broccoli or spinach, sometimes bell pepper or sun dried tomatoes. It is a very forgiving recipe and since my kids are not typically fans of quiche crust, they devour the sweet potato crust! I have used goat cheese, feta or parmesan and they are all tasty! Thank you so much for an amazing recipe!
Amazing!! Love customizing this one with things I have on hand in the fridge 🙂 Happy to hear it’s a favorite!
i just love this combo. the sweet potatoes are a definite favorite for me…and this time i used both the roma tomato and red bell peppers! i like to serve this with a side of bacon or sausage to up the protein since i don’t do dairy. so easy and quick to put together!
Perfect! Such a great breakfast 🙂
This quiche is delicious. My husband said it is the most delicious dish I’ve ever made. It is definitely his favorite quiche recipe. Thank you so much for posting this recipe!
This was my first time making quiche and this recipe is fantastic. My quiche turned out so beautifully and everyone loved it. We finished it so fast. The only changes I made was use soy milk, cuz that’s what I had, used bell pepper, added a heaping tbsp cuz I needed to go through it, and used feta. So simple yet so so delicious. The sweet potato was perfect and it wast too soggy or anything. It paired very well. Just note that the potatoes do shrink when the bake the first time, so do add the whole potato and basically cover the pan and then add a bit more. lovely recipe. Saved!
So happy to hear that! One of our fav brunch recipes, too 🙂
I have made this many times and love it, I was wondering if I could substitute thinly sliced Yukon gold potatoes for a change? I didn’t have sweet potatoes on hand and wanted to know if you think that concept would with a different potato. So versatile always a hit, great classic recipe, a keeper!
Yes, absolutely!!
Made this the night before for a breakfast for contractors working on our house. I followed your recipe but subbed kale for spinach, added some bell pepper and parmesan and cheddar. I lined my metal pie tin with parchment paper, and the sweet potato crust turned out perfectly. The quiche was so easy to remove from the pan and serve. I made it vegetarian and gluten free for one person, but every last bite got eaten. Delicious and much appreciated by all. Thank you.
Amazing! This one’s great for customizing 🙂
Everyone loved it. Even my parents who are hard to please.
I’m so glad!
SIMPLY DELICIOUS . SUPER HEALTHY ADDITION TO MY BRUNCH
The best!!
I have been making this recipe pretty regularly for the last 2 years. I never thought a sweet potato crust could add such zest to quiche, but it does. The tanginess of the goat cheese is the perfect compliment to the sweetness of the crust. I don’t change a thing in the recipe and it has never let me down. The leftovers are great too!
So good! Glad it’s a favorite!
Love this recipe! It is a part of my regular meal prep rotation. It comes together easily and works with whatever veggies I have on hand.
One of my go-tos, too! Glad you love it!
What an incredible egg-pie! 😉 Delicious and easy to make. Both my kids loved it too. ❤️
I’ve made it three times already and we keep coming back to it. I can hardly wait for your cookbook to arrive this week!
Love it! Hope you find new favorite recipes in the cookbook!
This is amazing!! I did orange bell pepper instead of roma tomatoes. The goat cheese really shines pulling all the flavors together beautifully.
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
This is one of my favorite quiche recipes. Perfect for a holiday brunch or a breakfast at anytime of the year! It is simple to make and bakes up really nice. The hardest part is cutting the sweet potatoes! Love this recipe!
So happy to hear that! Our fav, too 🙂
I’d like to make this, but use shredded sweet potato for the crust.
Is it possible? If so, how long do I bake the crust.
THX
Hmmm I haven’t tried it so I’m not 100% sure!
