This is hands down, my favorite quiche of all time. The flavors are just so complimentary. It’s filled with healthy protein, veggies and carbs. And if you add a fresh salad to your plate, you’ve got the ultimate healthy meal with a French flair.

I love making quiche with potato crusts instead of traditional dough crusts, like in this French Tomato, Tuna, & Mustard Quiche and this Gluten-Free Quiche Lorraine with a Potato Crust recipe. All of my quiche recipes have been influenced by foods that I’ve eaten while in France.

This broccoli carrot goat cheese quiche was inspired by a lunch I ate in Lyon and it was just fantastic.

  • In a large bowl, add the eggs, almond or coconut milk, 1/2 cup of crumbled goat cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg together with a whisk. Add 1/2 cup of pine nuts to the egg mixture and mix.

  • Add the cooked carrot and broccoli into the egg mixture and then pour the whole thing into the sweet potato crust.
  • Add 1/4 cup of crumbled goat cheese and 2 Tbs of pine nuts to the top of the quiche.
