Ingredients

Scale

1 pre-made pie crust

1 cup of chopped kale

1 cup of diced sweet potatoes

1 cup of chopped leeks

½ cup of shredded cheese

4 large eggs

½ cup of milk or cream

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. In a medium skillet, sauté the leeks in olive oil for 5 minutes. Add sweet potatoes and cook for another 10 minutes, then stir in kale and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until frothy. Fold in sautéed vegetables and half of the cheese.
  5. Pour the mixture into the pre-baked crust, sprinkle remaining cheese on top, and bake for 30-35 minutes until set and golden brown.
  6. Let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
