Quiche is great for any occasion but we tend to see it more on holidays, brunches or special events. This healthy version of quiche is not only delicious but can be served anytime and makes a great meal any time of day. If you’ve been looking for a healthy quiche then look no further.
The crust is made from sweet potatoes so you avoid all the fast carbs and seed oils found in your traditional crusts.

Full of eggs, veggies and tasty spices, this quiche makes a super healthy meal for anyone following a clean eating plan. Try it for your next family meal and let me know what you think.
