Ingredients

8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled or chopped into small pieces (turkey bacon works too)
2 1/2 cups roasted or sautéed cubed sweet potato (butternut squash works too)*
1 (5 ounce) bag baby spinach
8 large eggs
⅓ cup milk (any variety works)
1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper**
½ cup shredded Mexican blend or cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF and grease a 9x2-inch pie dish with nonstick cooking spray. Add the cooked diced sweet potato to the bottom of the dish. See recommendations for cooking the sweet potato within the post.
Cook spinach in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until it wilts, about 5 minutes. Transfer cooked spinach to the pie dish and place over the sweet potato. Then, top with the cooked bacon. See recommendations for cooking the bacon within the post.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over the top of the sweet potato, spinach and bacon. Sprinkle the top with cheese. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the egg sets up. Remove from oven and cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting into 6 slices. Enjoy!

Notes

*I recommend dicing the sweet potato into very small 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch pieces or buy pre-cut. You can peel the sweet potato, if you'd like, but it's not necessary.

**If you're sensitive to salt, you may want to omit. The 1/4 teaspoon was perfect for me, but I like things pretty salty. The bacon already adds quite a bit of saltiness to the quiche, so be aware of that.
