Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Boil the sweet potatoes until fork-tender, about 10–12 minutes. Drain and mash lightly, leaving a little texture.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion for 4–5 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook for another minute.

Stir the mashed sweet potatoes into the skillet. Season with smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into the Piccola Cucina Almond Pie Crust. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese if using.

Pour the egg mixture over the filling.

Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
