- Simple, satisfying, and family-friendly
Ingredients
- 2 medium yams or sweet potatoes, diced
- 1–2 cups organic corn
- ½ cup chopped green onions
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
- ½ tsp each: turmeric, rosemary, paprika, black pepper
- ¼ tsp sea salt (or to taste)
- 8 large eggs
- 1 can (400ml) full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream
- Swiss cheese (or any other cheese you want to top it with)
- Butter and olive oil
- Fresh sage leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Sauté the vegetables: In a large cast iron skillet, heat a little olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook until they begin to soften. Stir in the corn, green onions, parsley, and all the spices. Cook for 5–7 minutes until everything is fragrant and slightly golden.
3. Prepare the egg mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until smooth and creamy.
4. Combine and bake: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Top with grated cheese if using. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the center is set.
5. Make the crispy sage leaves: While the quiche bakes, heat a little oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add fresh sage leaves and fry until crispy—about 1 minute per side. Set on paper towel to drain.
6. Garnish and serve: Once the quiche is done, let it cool slightly before slicing. Top with crispy sage leaves for an herbal, savory finish. I like to enjoy mine with organic ketchup!
