Smoked Salmon Quiche

This recipe is a take on one I saw in a magazine.  However, rather than using grain in the crust, I used thinly sliced sweet potatoes.  The smoked salmon is also an interesting addition that gives some depth to the flavor.

Smoked Salmon Quiche:
For the crust, you will need:
Coconut oil
1 sweet potato, cut into thin rounds
2 eggs
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 tbsp. rosemary
Salt
Pepper

Grease the bottom of a pie plate with coconut oil.  Arrange two layers of the sweet potato rounds, topping with rosemary.  In a bowl, beat the eggs, coconut milk, salt, and pepper.  Bake for 15 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

For the quiche, you will need:
4 eggs
1/2 cup coconut milk
Salt
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp dill
Pepper
1 tbsp capers
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 oz smoked salmon, crumbled into bits
1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced

In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, mustard, spices, and garlic.  Sprinkle the top of the sweet potato crust with the smoked salmon.  Pour the egg mixture over the top and sprinkle on the dill.  Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.  Allow to cool for about 20 minutes before serving.
