Ingredients
- 1 pre-made refrigerated pie crust
- 2 medium sweet potatoes , peeled and cut into bite-size cubes
- 1/2 cup red onion , chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 slices Bacon , cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup Italian parsley , coarsely chopped
- 3-4 large eggs , room temperature, beaten
- 1/4 cup half &half
- 1 tablespoon fresh Rosemary , finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 cups gruyere cheese , finely shredded, divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Unwrap and lay the pie crust into a deep 9-inch pie dish. I do not arrange the edges because I like the rustic look, but you can pinch and fold to make it look pretty. Pierce the bottom and sides of the pie crust several times with a fork. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until it is just barely starting to cook and brown. Remove and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potatoes and onion with the extra virgin olive oil and pepper. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender. Remove and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, parsley, eggs, half & half, rosemary, fine sea salt and 1 1/2 cups of the Gruyere cheese, tossing to evenly mix.
- Transfer the sweet potato mixture to the prepared pie crust, spreading out evenly.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sweet potatoes until just reaching the top of the pie crust. If all of the egg mixture does not fit, discard.
- Place the quiche into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until center is set. Remove and top with the remaining 1/2 cup Gruyere cheese while still warm so it melts.

Notes
- Bacon is optional.
- A deep dish pie plate is necessary.
