Servings 5

Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 medium sweet potato peeled
  • 1 teaspoon canola or corn oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 6 slices uncured nitrate-free turkey bacon, thinly sliced
  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach thawed
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried dillweed crumbled
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup fat-free milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly spray 9-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In medium bowl, using box grater, grate sweet potato. Measure out 2 cups. Gently press sweet potato on bottom and up sides of pan, forming crust. Sweet potato will be loose but will hold together once cooked.

  • In medium skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat bottom. Cook onion 6 minutes, or until almost translucent, stirring frequently. Add turkey bacon. Cook 3-4 minutes, or until onion and bacon begin to brown, stirring frequently. Add spinach, dillweed, salt and pepper. Cook 1-2 minutes, or until water from spinach is released. Remove from heat. Transfer mixture into sweet potato crust.
  • In medium bowl, whisk egg whites, eggs and milk. Pour over mixture in crust. Sprinkle feta over top.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes, or until knife inserted into center comes out clean. Transfer to cooling rack. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting into wedges.
