SPINACH, BACON, CHEESE QUICHE WITH SWEET POTATO CRUST

On Monday I shared a sweet recipe, Gingerbread Dutch Baby with Cider Apples, for your Christmas morning breakfast and today I’m sharing a savory one. Spinach, Bacon, Cheese Quiche with Sweet Potato Crust is a must Christmas morning!
With any luck I’ll be able to run outside on Christmas morning. Every year since we moved to Colorado I haven’t been able to because we’ve gotten a big snow. I especially love running outside on holidays because there’s no cars out and it’s so quiet. Just me and the occasional wildlife sighting.
