Shredded sweet potato hash browns make up the healthy crust of these gluten-free muffin-tin quiches. This grab-and-go breakfast is super-easy to prep ahead and keep stashed in the fridge or freezer. Serve them for brunch or eat them on busy weekdays.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups shredded peeled sweet potato
1 tablespoon avocado oil
½ cup diced ham
½ cup diced red pepper
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
6 eggs
½ cup nonfat milk
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously coat a muffin tin with cooking spray.
Toss sweet potato and oil in a medium bowl. Divide among the 12 muffin cups, pressing into the bottom and up the sides to create a crust.
Divide ham and red pepper among the cups. Top with cheese, keeping it away from the edges to minimize sticking.
Whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a large measuring cup. Carefully pour the mixture into the cups, dividing evenly.
Bake until set and cooked through, 22 to 28 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the quiches and remove from the tin while still hot. Serve warm.

Tips

To make ahead: Individually wrap in plastic and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, remove plastic, wrap in a paper towel and microwave on High for 30 to 60 seconds.

Equipment: Muffin tin with 12 (1/2-cup) cups

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
