This Sweet Potato Quiche is gluten free, high protein, and full of fiber. It comes together with minimal prep, only taking 40 minutes and one dish! This skips the crust but still delivers the cozy, comforting flavors of a traditional quiche – with a naturally sweet base from the sweet potatoes, creamy cottage cheese, and your favorite veggies. This is one you’ll want to keep in your rotation!

One of my favorite easy breakfasts to prep is my High Protein Quiche. It doesn’t just have to be something that’s enjoyed for brunch or a special occasion! A traditional quiche can take a bit of time to make, but with my hacks of using a tortilla and now using sweet potato, it can take no time at all. In this recipe, we’re making a crustless quiche using sweet potato as the “crust” or base. It firms up to be the best texture to hold the egg and vegetable mixture and adds a subtle sweetness that pair so well with the savory filling!

My favorite thing about quiche is that you can customize it to use whatever you have at home, in the fridge, and even flavor you’re craving. And this Sweet Potato Quiche is no different! I almost always have a bag of sweet potatoes in my kitchen ready to use and when I don’t want to roast them by themselves, I’ll see how I can add them in a recipe – like this one! To keep with the theme of using what we have, I’ll add any fresh vegetables that need to be used and even a frozen vegetable mix if I have it. It’s one of the easiest ways to not waste groceries AND get extra color, fiber, and nutrients in your day without thinking twice.

While most quiche is pretty balanced when it comes to macros, we’re really amping up the protein in this recipe by adding one simple ingredient – cottage cheese! We have protein and healthy fats from the cottage cheese, eggs, and cheese, and high fiber carbs from the sweet potato and vegetables. It tastes delicious and will keep you satisfied and full for a while!

If you’re trying to use up leftover sweet potatoes, add more veggies to your day, or just want something cozy and nourishing, this Sweet Potato Quiche is perfect. It’s become a meal prep favorite of mine along with my High Protein Egg Bites, Feta Baked Eggs.

Why You’ll Love This

Comfort meal – This quiche is cozy and satisfying without feeling heavy. The sweet potato adds a bit of natural sweetness that balances the savory egg and cheese combo perfectly.
Great for any meal – No matter what time of day it is, whether you’re wanting this for a meal or snack, it’s a good choice! Enjoy it hot, room temp, or cold from the fridge.
Sneaky protein – Adding cottage cheese with the eggs increases the amount of protein per serving. Even if you’re not a cottage cheese fan, it blends right in! Plus it’s a great source of calcium too.
Dietary friendly – This is gluten free, high protein, lower carb, and fiber packed.

This easy healthy sweet potato quiche is gluten free, lower carb, high protein, fiber packed, and can be dairy free. On a small white plate is a thick slice of freshly baked quiche. The bottom layer is an orange sweet potato crust, topped with the fluffy, light, golden yellow egg mixture filling with pops of color from the vegetables and golden brown edges.

How To Make

Preheat oven to 400F and bake the sweet potatoes until soft (about 40 minutes).
Lightly spray a round quiche dish (I used this one!)
In the quiche dish, add the baked sweet potato and press it to line the bottom and cover like a crust.
In the same dish, add eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper on top of the sweet potato and whisk until smooth.
Add chopped vegetables of choice to the egg mixture and spread evenly. Option to sprinkle cheese on top.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until set and golden brown around the edges.
Once the quiche is done baking, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and enjoy!
