Rosemary Sweet Potato Quiche

In my kosher kitchen, elegant and interesting vegetarian selections are a must for dairy entertaining. This one presents beautifully as a side or a main dish, and has a much more complex flavor palate than my usual quiches and kugels. My kids prefer it if I sub the goat cheese for mozzarella or more monterey jack, but it is a really nice, grown-up flavor as I submitted it!

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• ¾ cup milk
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 2 9-inch pie crusts
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
• 6 sprigs fresh rosemary
• ½ cup water, or as needed
• 6 ounces crumbled goat cheese
• 1 pinch Italian seasoning, or more to taste
• 4 sweet potatoes, peeled
• 2 onions, thinly sliced into rounds

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Slice sweet potatoes into 1/4- to 1/2-inch rounds.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven until quiches are set in the middle, about 40 minutes.
