Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided, or more as needed
  • 4 cups sweet potato slices, 1/2-inch thick
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Information

  • Yield: 1 9-inch quiche

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Add 2 tablespoons oil to a frying pan over medium heat. Cook sweet potatoes and salt until starting to brown, 5 to 10 minutes, adding more oil if necessary. Transfer to an 11 x 7-inch rectangular glass baking dish. Press sweet potatoes into the bottom to form a compact layer.
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil to the frying pan and cook onion over medium heat until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add cooked mixed vegetables, season with salt and pepper, and cook until slightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish with the sweet potatoes.
  • Beat eggs in a blender until just blended, then add mascarpone cheese. Beat until mascarpone cheese starts to separate into smaller bits, about 1 minute more; it won't fully blend. Pour over the vegetables in the baking dish. Top with chopped scallions and mix them in slightly.
  • Bake quiche in the preheated oven until set and slightly browned, 55 to 75 minutes.
