Roasted Beet, Spinach, and Goat Cheese Quiche

So delicious and easy to make, this Roasted Beet, Spinach, and Goat Cheese Quiche makes a great brunch or even dinner!

I have an obsession and its … beets.

I was a late beet bloomer. All my childhood and teenage years, I was always skeptical about this vegetable. I think it was the color. The thought of eating something so potently red just weirded me out.

Who knew that once I tried beets I would fall in love.

They are so sweet and tasty, especially when roasted to perfection!

And they are good for you! Beets are high in powerful cancer-fighting phytonutrients, vitamin C, fiber, and minerals. They fight inflammation, help lower blood pressure, and support blood and liver detoxification.

Whenever I buy beets, I don’t discriminate. If you throw away the beet greens, you are missing out! Not only are they delicious but they are super healthy. Enjoy them sautéed or steamed just like any other leafy green.

OK, back to this recipe. The crust is super easy to put together. Stone ground whole wheat flour, butter, toasted sesame seeds, and water. The stone ground whole wheat flour along with the sesame seeds add a rustic feel to the quiche. Simply add all the ingredients to a food processor and the crust is ready.

Now the filling. The beets, onions, and spinach get roasted. (WARNING! Your house will smell amazing during this process.) Then the filling is a protein rich with eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, and of course the best part … goat cheese.

Finally, bake the quiche and enjoy!!
