Sweet Potato Crust Quiche – grain free, gluten free, dairy free
Mother’s Day is right around the corner and going out to brunch and eating a bunch of tasteless, buffet foods doesn’t sound appealing to me. This year why not treat Mom to a nice relaxing day at home and start it off with breakfast in bed. I can’t think of a better way to have nutritious and delicious food than served to me by my family.
The entire breakfast might include one of my favorite grain free recipes like Grain Free Waffles or Grain Free Blueberry Pancakes. Another option would be to make some muffins. Again I recommend you stick with one of my grain free versions such as Grain Free Pumpkin Muffins or Grain Free Banana Muffins. Both of these recipes are delicious and make a nice muffin without all the sugar and carbs from traditional sweets.
The main dish which is my recipe for this blog is a Sweet Potato Crust Spinach Quiche. This is perfect for anyone who wishes to remain both gluten and dairy free. It takes the traditional heavy quiche and lightens it up while adding vitamins and fiber from the sweet potato crust. If you are not dairy free then feel free to add cheese to the recipe also. For some of you that can tolerate a goat cheese that would certainly be a healthy and tasty addition to this recipe.
