Effortlessly prepare this crowd-pleasing quiche for dinner or save it in the freezer for busy nights.
Ingredients:
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 1 large brown onion, halved, thinly sliced
  • 8.00 gm brown sugar
  • 11.80 gm wholegrain mustard
  • 2 (about 600g) orange sweet potato (kumara), peeled, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 1 sheet (27 x 27cm) ready-rolled frozen quiche shortcrust pastry (Pampas brand), just thawed
  • 185ml (3/4 cup) thickened cream
  • 3 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 40.00 ml finely shredded fresh basil
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C. Meanwhile, in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, sauté the onion in oil until soft and golden, about 15 minutes. Stir in the sugar and continue cooking for 2 minutes until the onion caramelizes. Mix in the mustard and then remove from heat.
  • Cook the sweet potato in a pot of boiling water until tender, approximately 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
  • Prepare a round 22cm fluted tart tin with a removable base by lining it with pastry and trimming any excess. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to allow the pastry to rest.
  • Line pastry base with parchment paper and fill with pastry weights, rice, or dried beans. Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove paper and weights. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until golden. Take out from oven and decrease oven temperature to 180°C.
  • Spread caramelised onion over the pastry base and layer with sweet potato. Combine cream, egg, and basil in a jug, then pour over the pastry base. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes or until golden and set. Serve with mixed green salad leaves or coleslaw.
