Spinach and Feta Quiche with Sweet Potato Crust
This show-stopper of a quiche boasts a crust made of low-carb sweet potatoes, and it's also gluten-free! Use a mandoline (be careful!) or the slicing blade on your food processor to ensure you get nice, even rounds for the crust. You can also substitute goat cheese or a very sharp cheddar for the feta, if you like.
