    Quiche is a wonderful invention. I love how baking scrambled eggs together with a bunch of different fillings can be a simple, yet complete meal. It's an easy weeknight meal that's full of proteins and veggies and vitamins and all that other good stuff. Furthermore, it's all in one dish! Bonus! Remove the traditional wheat pastry crust and this Sweet Potato Broccoli Bacon Quiche is not only gluten-free, it is hearty and healthy.

    Use the sweet potato base for any of your favorite quiche fillings. I have made this quiche with a simple spinach filling, but this time, I wanted to experiment a bit and make a more substantial version. Broccoli sounded like a good filler, in addition to some feta and cheddar for extra "glue" and saltiness. And bacon. Oh yes, you can't go wrong with using bacon in the filling. Bacon is a good thing.

    The egg mixture didn't actually cover all the filling I loaded into the crust, but it all worked out really well anyway. The filling didn't get lost in too much egg, and there was a perfect balance with all the different textures. If you prefer more egg, however, adjust the recipe to so there is less filler. Like a lot of recipes, there is room for play depending on your preferences. So think outside the box and play with the possibilities!

    As a result, this quiche experiment proved to be a success! My older son liked this quiche so much, he said I should teach him how to make it! I was speechless! In hoping to inspire YOU to spend a day in your kitchen, I inspired my own son. How satisfying is that? If a 14 year old teenage boy wants to make this sweet potato broccoli bacon quiche, isn't that enough to inspire you, too?

    Notes

    Customize it for you!

    Make the quiche a bit cheesier by mixing cheddar into the beaten eggs before pouring into the pie plate.
    Make it a combination of broccoli and cauliflower.
    Use spinach instead of broccoli; just be sure to cook/wilt the spinach before adding it to the crust.
