Sweet Potato & Goat Cheese Quiche

This Sweet Potato & Goat Cheese Quiche is creamy, savory, and packed with comforting autumn flavor. It's the perfect combination of soft roasted sweet potatoes, tangy goat cheese, and a silky custard baked into a flaky golden crust.

Whether you're planning a weekend brunch, prepping weekday lunches, or hosting a holiday gathering, this sweet potato quiche is a beautiful and versatile dish that's always a hit. The natural sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes balances perfectly with the creamy, slightly tart goat cheese, while eggs and cream hold everything together in a light, custardy filling. It's hearty yet elegant, vegetarian-friendly, and great both warm and cold.

🍳 Substitutions

• Crust → You can use fresh or frozen puff pastry, or use a store-bought pie crust or make your own.
• Goat cheese → Substitute with feta, ricotta, or cream cheese for a different flavor.
• Heavy cream → Use all milk or a blend of milk and Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
• Sweet potato → Try roasted butternut squash or pumpkin cubes for variation.
• Fresh herbs → Replace the dried herbs with fresh ones or skip altogether.

🥣 Variations

• Caramelized onion addition - Add ½ cup of caramelized onions for extra sweetness and depth, like in this Caramelized Onion, Goat Cheese and Roasted Tomato Tart.
• Spinach or kale - Stir in sautéed greens for added color and nutrition.
• Spicy version - Add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
• Mini quiches - Bake in a muffin tin for individual servings (adjust baking time to 20-25 minutes).

📋 How to make a perfect Quiche

The original French recipe for the Quiche has a crust of Pâte Brisée and a filling of eggs and crème fraîche with the addition of other ingredients like vegetables or the most common hand and cheese to make Quiche Lorraine.

You can make yourself a quiche crust (it's very easy and quick) like in this Italian Sausage & Broccoli Quiche recipe. Although, I often love to make my Quiches with Puff Pastry for a quicker and easier preparation.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

Serve this quiche warm or at room temperature with a crisp green salad, roasted vegetables, or a bowl of soup. It's perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner-and it makes a lovely addition to holiday or picnic spreads. A glass of chilled white wine or sparkling water with lemon pairs beautifully with the creamy, tangy flavors.

🔪 Equipment

To make and bake your Sweet Potato & Goat Cheese Quiche with a decorative touch, here's what you'll need:

• 9-inch tart pan or pie dish - Preferably with a removable bottom for easy serving and a crisp crust.
• Mixing bowls - One for the filling and one for tossing the sweet potato before roasting.
• Baking sheet - Place under the tart pan while baking to catch drips and help the bottom crisp up evenly.
• Parchment paper - To line the crust when blind baking.
• Spiralizer - To create long, thin sweet potato ribbons. You can roll or coil these into a flower shape for a stunning decorative topping.

❄️ Storage & Reheating

Fridge: Store cooled quiche in the refrigerator, covered or in an airtight container, for up to 4 days.

Freezer: Wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Reheating: Warm slices in a 325°F (160°C) oven for 10-15 minutes. Avoid microwaving to keep the crust crisp.

Ingredients

 

US CustomaryMetric

 

1x2x3x?

• ▢ 1 roll Puff Pastry
• ▢ 2 lb Sweet Potatoes
• ▢ ¾ cup Fresh Goat Cheese
• ▢ 2 Eggs
• ▢ ½ cup Sour Cream
• ▢ 1 tablespoon Pecorino Romano cheese, grated
• ▢ ½ tablespoon Thyme
• ▢ ½ tablespoon Oregano
• ▢ Cayenne Pepper
• ▢ Salt
• ▢ Black Pepper
• ▢ Olive Oil

Method

 

1. Preheat the oven at 200°C (395°F).
2. Lay the puff pastry sheet in the pie pan together with its parchment paper underneath.
3. With a fork, punch holes in the pastry throughout the whole bottom of the pan, then crumble the goat cheese (or spread if it's soft enough) evenly in the center of the pastry.
4. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them in ribbons using a peeler or a spiral slicer (see below for the one I used) and add them in a large bowl.
5. Season with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, black pepper, Cayenne pepper, thyme and oregano, then toss with your hands to coat evenly.
6. Shape the sweet potatoes ribbons as a rose in the pie pan, starting from the center and adding outer layers as petals.
7. In a bowl, whisk the 2 eggs with the sour cream and the Pecorino cheese and lightly season with salt and pepper.
8. Pour the mix on top of the potatoes. Most of it will drip down under the potatoes and will act as glue.
9. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Notes

You can substitute Pecorino Romano for the classic Parmigiano cheese. You can also chop the sweet potatoes into small cubes to have a more rustic looking Quiche.
