Sweet Potato Basil Quiche
Submitted by Vive Le Vegan Blog
Well, folks, today it’s actually something savory! Yes, it’s true. I do eat real food! And, I am working on savory recipes… as much as I’d be happy to make sweets and baked goods most of the day.
This is Sweet Potato Basil Quiche. I use yellow-flesh sweet potatoes in the base, along with white beans or tofu (I’m testing both versions). Our family prefers the white bean version, even though its consistency tends to be softer and a little less set as a quiche. For cooking ease and speedy preparation (this is key with two kidlets!) I use Wholly Wholesome’s whole-wheat pie crust (I’d love to try the spelt crusts, but I haven’t seen them in our store yet… anyone try the spelt yet?). Since the filling requires sauteeing some veggies and then pureeing the entire mix in a food processor, the prepared crust truly helps with clean-up and overall preparation time.
As with many of my recent posts, yes, this is a new recipe. I fully realize that it’s not much fun for you all to see my new recipe posts and not be able to make the dishes yourself, simply because my new cookbook is not near being released. So, I mentioned in the comments of a previous post that I will soon post a new recipe - AND, here’s the best part - I’m going to let YOU all vote to choose the one to post! So, stay tuned for the choices soon!
