Sweet Potato and Onion Quiche

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

• 3-4 tbsp cold water

• 1 large sweet potato, peeled and thinly sliced

• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 4 large eggs

• 1 cup milk or heavy cream

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp black pepper

• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.

• Roll out the dough on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven.

1. Prepare the Filling:

• In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced sweet potatoes and onions, and sauté until they are tender, about 8-10 minutes.

• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper.

1. Assemble and Bake:

• Spread the sweet potato and onion mixture evenly over the partially baked crust. Pour the egg mixture over the top. Sprinkle with shredded cheese if using.

• Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
