Their subtle sweetness pairs beautifully with savory Italian seasoning, nutmeg, and cinnamon, creating a harmony of flavors that’s both comforting and intriguing. The spices bring warmth and depth, while the fresh veggies and cheeses add layers of texture and richness. This recipe highlights the magic of blending sweet and savory, making each bite perfectly balanced and satisfying.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not squeezing out enough moisture from sweet potatoes, which can make the crust soggy.
• Overbaking the quiche, leading to a dry texture.
• Using too much liquid in the filling—stick to the measurements for perfect consistency.
• Skipping the cooling time; the quiche needs to set before slicing.

---

Add-Ons & Variations

• Swap mozzarella for goat cheese or feta for a tangy twist.
• Add cooked bacon or sausage for a non-vegetarian version.
• Mix in mushrooms, zucchini, or kale for more veggies.
• Use dairy-free cheese and milk substitutes for a vegan-friendly spin.

---

Storing & Freezing Tips

• Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the crust crisp.
• Freeze cooled, sliced quiche pieces wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight before reheating.

Serving Suggestions & Pairings

• Serve warm or at room temperature with a side green salad or fresh fruit.
• Pair with herbal tea, fresh-squeezed juice, or a light white wine for brunch or dinner.
