Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 150° C fan oven.

- Line the base of a springform tin with baking paper and brush the sides of the tin with a little olive oil. Press the pastry evenly into the tin with your hands and press the edges approx. 3 cm high.
- Pre-bake the dough in the oven for 15 minutes. Then turn the oven up to 165° C.
- In the meantime, peel the sweet potatoes and cut into thin slices. Clean the leek and cut into rings. Peel the onions and cut into wedges. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a deep pan and sauté the leeks and onions for 2-3 minutes.
- Mix the eggs with the cashew drink and season to taste with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
- Spread the sweet potatoes, leek and onions over the pre-baked base and pour the egg mixture on top. Finally, sprinkle the hazelnuts over the quiche and bake in the oven at 165° C for approx. 45 minutes.
Artgerechte Food Facts
Almonds have a high calorie density, but are very healthy. The carbohydrates in almonds and also in nuts are only released slowly during digestion. Almonds contain a lot of vegetable protein and are rich in polyunsaturated fats. They also have an antioxidant effect.
Olivesöl are a natural source of fat and therefore an important source and store of energy. PHENOLIO rounds off the dish with its fresh, fruity and tangy flavor. It also has a very high content of polyphenols, which have a health-promoting, anti-inflammatory and beneficial effect.
Eggs are a great source of protein and have a firm place in a species-appropriate diet. They are also a good source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids and contain numerous vitamins such as vitamins A, B, D and E. (Please note: animal products are only species-appropriate if the animal has also been kept and fed in a species-appropriate manner.)
Süßkartoffeln belong to the tuber vegetables and are rich in beta-carotene, which the body needs to produce vitamin A. We need vitamin A for our skin, eyes, immune system and cell protection. However, for this to be soluble, it should be consumed with a little fat. Sweet potatoes also contain plenty of vitamin E and fiber.
The nutmeg is both a spice and a remedy - numerous antioxidant ingredients protect our body against inflammation and have a calming effect on the gastrointestinal tract.
Hazelnutsüsse are rich in vitamins (B, E) and provide important minerals. They have a positive effect on cholesterol levels, the heart, blood vessels and circulation, can improve memory and lower cholesterol levels.
