- 4 oz. goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 T. extra virgin olive oil
- Bake sweetness potatoes (in their skins) until tender, nearly 1 hr together with fifteen minutes at 350 degrees. Cool.
- Bring pie crust dough upwards to room temperature. Place each pie crust inwards the bottom together with upwards the sides of an 8-inch or 9-inch fluted tart pan or circular cake pan. Trim excess pie crust from the edges then that no dough goes higher upwards the compass of the side of the pan. Sprinkle 1/4 loving cup of grated Parmesan cheese into the bottom of each pie crust.
- Heat olive crude oil inwards a saute pan over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onion together with ready until tender over medium to medium-low heat, nearly five minutes. Add julienned sage together with saute nearly xx seconds. Remove from oestrus together with laid aside piece y'all laid upwards the residual of the quiche filling.
- Remove the skins from the baked sweetness potatoes. Chop the sweetness potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place the sweetness spud chunks into the pie crusts, dividing evenly betwixt the 2 pans. Place the onion together with sage on compass of the sweetness spud chunks, dividing evenly betwixt the 2 pans.
- Sprinkle 1/4 loving cup sausage crumbles together with one-half of the caprine animal cheese crumbles into each pan.
- Beat the whole eggs, egg yolks, cream, together with one-half & one-half together. Pour one-half of the mixture into each pan.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place quiche into the 400 flat oven, together with at 1 time trim down the oestrus to 375 degrees. Bake about 35-40 minutes until quiche is set.
Notes:
- You tin also ready the sweetness potatoes inwards the microwave. Wrap them inwards a barely-moist newspaper towel together with ready until tender, nearly 5-12 minutes depending on your microwave. I tried it both ways together with produce prefer the oven-baked sweetness potatoes every bit they are moister, to a greater extent than vibrantly colored, together with to a greater extent than flavorful.
- The sweetness potatoes together with the onion/sage mixture could travel prepared a solar daytime ahead together with refrigerated until you're ready to get together together with bake your quiches. I advise removing the sweetness potatoes together with onions/sage mixture from the fridge nearly an hr earlier assembling the quiches to allow them come upwards up inwards temperature a bit.

- If y'all don't bring a fluted tart pan, I recommend using a 9-inch circular cake pan instead of a pie plate. When baked inwards a pie plate, the edges of the pie crust that are fluted onto the rim of the pie plate tend to over bake. If y'all produce role a pie plate, I recommend shielding the edges of the crust amongst foil partway through baking.
- Though I haven't tried it, I would remember y'all could substitute whole milk for the one-half & one-half simply fine.
- Don't skip the fresh sage ... the flavour combination of fresh sage amongst the onions together with sweetness spud is absolutely fabulous!
Enjoy!
