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!
