Sweet Potato, Onion, Asparagus, and Swiss Cheese Quiche
Description
Quiche isn’t just a springtime treat! This Sweet Potato, Onion, Asparagus, and Swiss Cheese Quiche is the perfect answer when winter mornings call for something comforting. Its hearty vegetable fillings make it a go-to dish for cozy brunches or light dinners in the colder months.
The thing I love about quiches are that they are endlessly adaptable. Want to add some protein? Toss in cooked bacon or ham. Prefer a vegetarian option? Swap asparagus for spinach or kale. Plus, it’s just as delicious with a store-bought crust if you’re pressed for time.
Whether you’re hosting a weekend gathering or looking for meal-prep inspiration, this quiche is destined to become a favorite. Warm your kitchen with this recipe because winter deserves a little luxury too!
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Heat oven to 400°F. Grab a parchment lined sheet pan and put cut up sweet potato on. Mix with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast until tender and let them cool slightly.
-
Take your crust and blind bake it for 10-12 minutes when your sweet potatoes are roasting. Take out and turn oven down to 375°F.
-
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and asparagus (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
-
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper. Spread the onions, sweet potatoes, and asparagus evenly over the crust. Sprinkle shredded Swiss cheese on top. Pour the egg mixture over the filling.
-
Bake at 375°F for 30–40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Let the quiche cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Note
Pro Tip: “Blind baking” does not mean making the recipe blindfolded. It refers to the process of baking a pie crust or pastry shell without any filling inside, usually by weighing it down with pie weights, beans, or rice to maintain its shape while it cooks, allowing for a pre-baked crust that can then be filled with a wet ingredient without becoming soggy; essentially, it means "baking the crust blind" without the filling present.
