Crispy shredded potatoes, reminiscent of hash browns, encase the outer edges of 24 Carrot Life’s satisfyingly low-carb and veggie-packed quiche. For an extra protein boost, throw in your favorite meat — like slices of chicken, ham or bacon. This hassle-free recipe uses only one skillet so that you can spend less time washing dishes and more time with friends and family!

Potato Crusted Quiche

Ingredients

  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and shredded (about 1–1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 cup (240 ml) halved cherry tomatoes
  • 2 cups (480 ml) baby kale, spinach and Swiss chard
  • 1 cup (240 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) pepper
  • 6 large eggs, beaten

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Coat an 8-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray, and set aside.

Pat the shredded potatoes with a paper towel to remove some of the moisture. Line the potatoes along the bottom and sides of the greased skillet, pressing down slightly. Coat the top with more cooking spray.

Bake for 15 minutes, until the edges turn light brown.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a pan set over medium heat. Add the onions, and cook until translucent. Then add the tomatoes and mixed greens, and cook for a minute or two until the greens reduce.

Transfer the cooked vegetables to a large bowl, and add the cheddar cheese, salt, pepper and eggs. Stir to combine.

Reduce oven to 350°F.

Pour the egg mixture over the potato crust. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until eggs are set.
