Breakfast On-the-Go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know about you guys but breakfast is my favorite time of the day! It\u2019s a nice pause to stop and smell the flowers, or in my case, drink the coffee (Ha!) before the craziness of the day begins. Plus, preparing a tasty breakfast is a great way to get some quality time in with the boys, especially as they get older and older and run around to and from different practices and events. That being said, I never pass up an opportunity to go all out on a big brunch spread with recipes like Classic Pancakes<\/a>, Classic Waffles<\/a>, and even Paleo Sweet Potato Waffle Sandwiches<\/a> from time to time!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, as much as I try, I\u2019ll admit that I\u2019m not perfect, and a slow start to the day doesn\u2019t always happen, especially with the school year in full swing. So, on those mornings when I feel a little rushed but know I need a little fuel, I like to have a backup in place. That\u2019s where this Spinach and Prosciutto Egg Quiche come into play!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seriously you guys, this recipe is a lifesaver! Not only is it super quick to heat up and easy to take on-the-go, it\u2019s also Whole30 and <\/em>kid-friendly! That\u2019s a huge win in my book! I like to keep a batch on hand at all times for quick breakfasts and healthy snacks, but that\u2019s enough chatting. Let\u2019s get in the kitchen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthy Ingredients for Whole30 Quiche<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In an effort to replicate the crust of traditional quiche, this recipe is made with a sweet potato crust and filled with veggies that pack loads of vitamins, nutrients, and fiber to help keep you full all morning long! To get cooking you\u2019ll need to gather the items listed below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Eggs <\/strong>– For the best flavor and ethical reasons, I use Vital Farms<\/a> eggs, but of course use whatever you have access to. Or, if you want to minimize the fat content, opt for egg-whites instead.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweet Potato <\/strong>– Technically, regular potatoes work as well, but I highly recommend using sweet potatoes for their sweet flavor and wide range of health benefits<\/a>.
<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arrowroot Flour <\/strong>– Feel free to use another flour you prefer, but be aware that you might need to adjust the amount used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil <\/strong>– I recommend using olive oil or avocado oil for the healthy fats and high smoking points.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onion <\/strong>– I like to use yellow onions for their sweet taste. However, I do not recommend using red onions as they have a slightly spicier flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spinach <\/strong>– If you prefer, swap the spinach out for kale! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prosciutto <\/strong>– I used a package of prosciutto from Trader Joe\u2019s, but be sure to double-check any labels to ensure that they are Whole30. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almond Milk – <\/strong>I use New Barn<\/a> almond milk as it is Whole30 compliant, but any milk you have on hand will work just fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seasonings <\/strong>– I like to include salt, pepper, and garlic powder, but be careful as prosciutto is already quite salty! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional Add-Ins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What I love most about quiche recipes is how easily they can be altered and customized! Of course, I used specific veggies for this healthy quiche recipe, but you can include any you have on hand. For instance, asparagus, mushrooms, and zucchini are all delicious as well. You can also swap out prosciutto for another meat source such as bacon, ham, or sausage. Or, add your favorite cheese for a vegetarian quiche!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tools You\u2019ll Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Instead of making a traditional pie-like quiche, I made this recipe a little more bite-sized by creating muffins instead! However, if you prefer, feel free to use a pie tin instead. Just be aware that the baking time will likely increase!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
