Our mini
make LIFE easy.
They are incredibly
simple to throw together.
These quiches are a
perfect instant breakfast,
lunch, dinner, or snack.
Whenever I make our mini quiches half of
them disappear before they even have a
chance to cool. I quickly hide the rest. I find
the texture perfect for toddlers, and my kids
love them. The optional extras are exactly that,
these quiches are lovely just as they are.
MINI QUICHE MANY WAYS
By Bianca Slade from Wholefood Simply | Makes 12
600g/ ¹⁄³ cup cooled roasted sweet potato flesh
8 eggs
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
12 thin tomato slices
OPTIONAL EXTRAS
Omit the salt and add 1 cup of grated cheese
¹⁄³ cup of coconut milk
Omit the salt and add ¹⁄³ cup of sun dried tomatoes and ¹⁄³
cup pitted olives, either chop or add to the blender with the
sweet potato.
1-2 tablespoons of water or more for desired consistency
1 Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F.
I use 2-3 of the purple skinned/
white flesh sweet potatoes, you can
also use the orange flesh variety.
I generally roast the potatoes with
dinner and then make the quiches
the following day. I hope you enjoy
them as much as we do!
2 Grease a 12 hole muffin tin.
3 Place the potato into your blender or food processor and
pulse until smooth, either transfer the mixture to a bowl
and mix in the remaining (optional) ingredients until well
combined or leave the potato in your food processor or
blender and add in the remaining ingredients, mixing as
you go.
4 Spoon the mixture evenly into your prepared tin. Top
each quiche with a tomato slice, lightly press it down, and
bake for 35 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes
out cleanly.
