Quiche is on the menu for the coronation, so here’s a deliciously different take on the classic recipe!
Instead of a typical pastry crust, the base of this quiche is made with grated sweet potato, pressed into an oven dish and baked until crispy and magnificent.
Preheat the oven to 180ºC / 160ºC fan / Gas 4. Butter a 24cm round oven dish generously.
Grate the sweet potatoes using a box grater and place in a colander. Sprinkle over ½tsp salt and leave to sit for 10-15min, before using a clean tea towel to squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
Put the potatoes into a bowl, add the smoked paprika and season well. Add the flour and 1 of the whisked eggs and mix really well to combine.
Tip the potato mix into your prepared oven dish and press into the base and sides to make a crust, plugging any gaps. Place in the oven and bake for 30min, or until golden.
Remove the crust from the oven and brush with the second whisked egg. Place back into the oven for a few min to set.
To make the filling: Add the eggs, double cream and milk to a jug and whisk well to combine. Season well, then sprinkle in the chives. Pour the mixture into the sweet potato crust and crumble over the feta cheese.
Nestle the Cavolo Nero in amongst the feta and place the uncooked quiche on the middle shelf of your oven. Bake for 25min, or until the centre has just a slight hint of a jiggle.
Allow to rest and set up for 10min before eating.
