Method

Ingredients

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 30 cm quiche dish. To make the base, heat the olive oil in a large pan, then fry the sweet potato cubes until golden brown but slightly undercooked, 12–15 minutes. Press into the dish.
2. To make the filling, heat the olive oil in the same pan and fry the shallot until soft and translucent. Place on top of the sweet potato base.
3. Combine the remaining filling ingredients and pour onto the base. Bake for 30 minutes, or until set.
