It's no secret that sometimes life gets crazy.
I find that things always seem to happen all at once. Work gets crazy busy, our nights are filled with things to do and our weekends are filled with things to do with friends and somehow we have to fit in "life" stuff in-between (because you know, my house doesn't know how to clean itself and my laundry pile just keeps on growing).
In those busy moments, I always like to make time for meal prep. Why? Because when I'm in the middle of a crazy day, there is nothing better than lunch or dinner that's already made. This quiche is one of those recipes I've been making on the weekends, ready for a busy work week.
It's super simple to make and super delicious to eat - and totally healthy too.
We've made it with both sweet potato and regular potato with great success - and fill the quiche with whatever we have in the fridge.
Whether you make it in the evening whilst making dinner or make it on the weekend to eat throughout the week, it's the perfect easy meal prep recipe that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
So let me share the recipe with you! >>
Easy Hash Brown Crusted Quiche Recipe
healthy, gluten free, clean eating friendly, grain free
makes 1 9" quiche
3 cups (~600g) grated potato
2 tbsp coconut oil or butter, melted
4 eggs
1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
1/4 cup milk
3/4 cup grated cheese
2/3 cup sliced ham
2/3 cup peas
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Salt and pepper
Optional: A handful of finely chopped basil and parsley or a squeeze of Gourmet Garden Mixed Herb Paste (we use mixed herb paste and garlic paste in this recipe - about 1-2 tsp of each)
- Preheat your oven to 200C/400F.
- Grease an 9" pie pan or cake tin and set aside (Note: A pie pan will be easier than a cake tin).
- Grate your potato and place it on the centre of a clean tea towel/kitchen towel. Pull up the side of your tea towel, bundling the potato into the middle, and squeeze the liquid out into a bowl or into the sink. Keep squeezing to get as much of the liquid out as possible.
- Place your drained potato into a clean bowl and mix with your oil.
- Spread your potato out on your prepared pie pan, making sure there's an even layer and the entire base is covered.
- Bake your crust for 30 minutes or until golden and crunchy.
- While your crust is cooking, mix your filling by combining all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Pour your filling into your cooked crust, cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil from your quiche and bake for a further 20-25 minutes or until the top is golde n and set.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving or cool completely before chilling in the fridge to heat and eat later.
Notes:
You can use whatever filling you like in this quiche. We'll often swap the ham and peas for whatever veggies/mix ins we have in the fridge - and you can swap grated cheese for crumbled feta. The choice is yours!
