Sweet Potato Quiche With Mascarpone Cheese Recipes

SWEET POTATO CRUST QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wash sweet potatoes, peel, and then dry with a clean towel if they're still wet. Carefully slice into thin rounds with a sharp knife or use a mandolin, if you have one.
• Spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray and layer sweet potato rounds in the bottom, overlapping heavily. Cut the remaining sweet potato rounds in half and use to line the sides of the pie dish. Drizzle 2 tsp. cooking oil over the top of potatoes and sprinkle with black pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Bake for 20 minutes until sweet potatoes are soft and beginning to crisp.
• While sweet potatoes are in the oven, sauté onion and bell pepper in 1 tsp. cooking oil. (If using frozen bell peppers, add near the end of the cooking time.) Once onion is soft, add spinach and stir until it wilts. Let cooked veggies cool.
• Whisk 6 eggs in a medium bowl and add milk or cream with salt and pepper. Stir in 1/4 cup cheese and cooked veggies.
• Once sweet potatoes have softened and are beginning to crisp, remove from oven and pour egg mixture over top. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese on top and return to oven for 28-30 minutes, until eggs are set. Let cool for two or three minutes and then serve.

SWEET POTATO QUICHE

Steps:

• Prepare the pie dough as directed. Fit it into a deep, 9-inch pie dish and refrigerate until ready to bake.
• Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1/4-inch cubes. Toss the pieces with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer, then roast at 400 degrees F until soft, about 20 minutes. Set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
• In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil over medium. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a well-floured surface. Working from the center, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle, then transfer it to an ungreased 9″ pie dish. With a fork, pierce rows of holes in the bottom and sides of the dough, about 1 inch apart. Place the pan in a 350 degree F oven and bake until the crust is lightly golden, 10 to 15 minutes. If you will be baking the quiche right away, increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
• Layer the sweet potatoes in the bottom of the par-baked crust, then sprinkle the caramelized onions, goat cheese, and rosemary over the top. (At this point, the crust and toppings may be covered and refrigerated together for up to 24 hours.) When ready to bake, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, nutmeg, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Pour the egg mixture over the quiche, then carefully place the quiche on a large baking sheet.
• Bake at 375 degrees F for 45 to 55 minutes, until the quiche puffs up and just barely jiggles. Remove from the oven and let sit 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SWEET POTATO QUICHE WITH MASCARPONE CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Add 2 tablespoons oil to a frying pan over medium heat. Cook sweet potatoes and salt until starting to brown, 5 to 10 minutes, adding more oil if necessary. Transfer to an 11 x 7-inch rectangular glass baking dish. Press sweet potatoes into the bottom to form a compact layer.
• Add 1 tablespoon oil to the frying pan and cook onion over medium heat until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add cooked mixed vegetables, season with salt and pepper, and cook until slightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish with the sweet potatoes.
• Beat eggs in a blender until just blended, then add mascarpone cheese. Beat until mascarpone cheese starts to separate into smaller bits, about 1 minute more; it won't fully blend. Pour over the vegetables in the baking dish. Top with chopped scallions and mix them in slightly.
• Bake quiche in the preheated oven until set and slightly browned, 55 to 75 minutes.

ROSEMARY SWEET POTATO QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Poke holes into each sweet potato using a fork and place in a microwave-safe dish. Add enough water to fill dish about 1/2-inch deep. Cook sweet potatoes in the microwave until tender, about 12 minutes. Transfer sweet potatoes to a work surface until cool enough to handle.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and rosemary until onions are softened, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove and discard rosemary sprigs. Stir brown sugar into onions; cook and stir until onions are browned and caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir mustard into caramelized onions and remove skillet from heat.
• Slice sweet potatoes into 1/4- to 1/2-inch rounds.
• Press each pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Line both crusts with caramelized onions and top with 1/2 of the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle 1/2 of the goat cheese and 1/2 of the Monterey Jack cheese over sweet potato layer. Spread the remaining 1/2 of the sweet potatoes over the cheese layer and top with remaining goat cheese and Monterey Jack cheese.
• Beat eggs, milk, and Italian seasoning together in a bowl and pour over each filled pie crust until evenly filling out all the spaces around the sweet potatoes and cheeses.
• Bake in the preheated oven until quiches are set in the middle, about 40 minutes.
