Directions

Step 1

Grate the sweetpotato and place it in a clean tea towel. Squeeze out as much water as possible – the drier it is, the crispier the crust will be! 

Step 2

Add the egg, flour, breadcrumbs, and spices. Mix everything by hand, pressing firmly to form a uniform dough. 

Step 3

Lightly oil a tart pan, add the sweetpotato mixture, and press it into the pan with your fingers, going up the sides. 

Step 4

Press down with the bottom of a glass to compact it well. 

Step 5

Pre-bake for 15 minutes at 180°C (350°F) in a preheated oven. 

Step 6

Mix the eggs, cream (or yogurt/mascarpone), herbs, and spices. Then stir in the cooked red pepper, crumbled feta, and olives.

Step 7

Sprinkle a tablespoon of breadcrumbs over the pre-baked crust to keep it from getting soggy.

Step 8

Pour in the filling, and bake again for about 20 minutes on the lower rack of the oven.

Step 9

Let it cool slightly before removing from the pan and enjoy!
