Ingredients
1 prepared pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 large eggs
1 cup milk or half-and-half
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced sweet potato with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, until tender and caramelized.
- Pre-bake pie crust according to package or recipe instructions to prevent sogginess.
- Reduce oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Scatter roasted sweet potatoes and red onion in pre-baked crust. Pour egg mixture over vegetables and sprinkle goat cheese (and Parmesan, if using) on top.
- Bake 35–40 minutes, until center is set and top is golden. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Add spinach or kale for extra greens.
Use feta instead of goat cheese for a saltier flavor.
Add a pinch of nutmeg to egg mixture for warmth.
Swap the crust for a sweet potato crust to make it gluten-free.
