Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray the pie plate with cooking spray.
  2. Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into 1/8-inch thick rounds and arrange them in the pie plate, overlapping slightly.
  3. Bake the crust in the oven for 20 minutes until the edges begin to show a slight golden color.
  4. Steam the vegetables until just tender and vibrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.
  6. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Layer the steamed veggies, pesto, feta, and parmesan in the baked sweet potato crust.
  8. Pour the egg mixture gently over the filling, ensuring it covers all ingredients evenly.
  9. Return the quiche to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until set and lightly golden.
  10. Let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm or at room temperature.
