How to Make Muffin Pan Sweet Potato Leek Quiches

  1. Steam 1 large sweet potato, cut into 1-inch chunks, until tender (about 15-20 minutes).
  2. While the sweet potato steams, prepare the filling: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 cup chopped leeks, ½ cup chopped onion, and 2 cloves minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the cooked sweet potato, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and optional bacon (4 slices, cooked and crumbled).
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Grease a 6-cup standard muffin tin.
  7. Prepare phyllo: Lightly brush 6 sheets of phyllo pastry with olive oil, stacking and brushing each sheet. Cut the stack into thirds, then cut each third in half to create 6 rectangles.
  8. Line each muffin cup with a phyllo rectangle, pressing gently into the bottom and up the sides.
  9. Divide the sweet potato mixture evenly among the phyllo-lined muffin cups.
  10. In a bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, ½ cup milk, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste.
  11. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sweet potato mixture in each muffin cup.
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiches are set and lightly golden brown.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with a simple salad.
