Prep time: About 20 minutes
Cooking time: About 1 hour

Makes: 4 servings

    

Ingredients

• 1          medium red sweet potato, peeled (about 1 lb.)
• 1 T.      olive oil
• 8 oz.     chopped spinach (thawed or fresh)
• 1/3 c.    chopped yellow onions
• 4          large eggs
• 2           egg whites
• 1/2 c.    milk
• 1/2 t.     Cajun red pepper seasoning
• 2 oz.     feta cheese, crumbled

    

Directions

1. Thinly slice the sweet potato into 1/8-inch thick rounds with mandoline or knife.
2. Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
3. Arrange several layers of rounds on bottom of pan.
4. Cut some rounds into half-circles and arrange them around the edges with the cut edges down.
5. Bake this shell of sweet potato rounds in a preheated 350 def.F oven for 20 minutes.
6. Meanwhile saute the onions in oil 5 minutes. Add spinach and saute 5 more minutes. Cool.
7. Whip together the eggs, egg whites, milk and Cajun seasoning in a bowl.
8. Put the spinach/onion filling into the pie pan and pour egg mixture through the filling
9. Top with crumbled feta cheese and bake 40 minutes in a preheated 375 deg.F oven. Cool 10 minutes, slice and serve.

My sweet potato supplied more rounds that would fit in my pie pan so I put a little olive oil on a cookie sheet, rubbed the extra rounds in it, and baked them along with the quiche 40 minutes, turning once.
