I experimented with a quiche recipe once before and it turned out good, except for the homemade crust. I never could get baking down. Although, knowing me I was most likely using coconut flour and coconut oil substitutes which probably take a little experimentation to get the desired outcome. This time around I opted to use the pre-made grocery store crust, except I couldn’t find it in the grocery store;/

So I scoured the internet for a non-crust crust;} I Found a recipe for a sweet potato crust, which I thought was the coolest idea and it came out really well. The only downfall is that I personally didn’t care for the taste. Quiche is supposed to be hardy and salty. The sweetness from the sweet potato just didn’t fit the bill for me. It would probably taste better with regular potatoes. I imagine they would cook just as well as a crust. I will have to try that in the future and I will experiment with other fillings for the sweet potato crust.

On my second batch I didn’t use any crust at all and it came out perfectly. The egg itself keeps its shape and there was no sticking to the dish, which I was concerned about.

Here are instructions for a potato crust and the quiche recipe. Try any or all three ways and leave a comment below.

(Sweet) Potato Crust

Buy one big, round (sweet) potato. Cut into thin rounds. Oil a 9” pie pan or glass pie plate. Place the potato rounds on the bottom of the dish. Cut the remaining rounds in half and line the sides of the dish.
