I was always daunted by the idea of making a quiche, until I actually did it…and realized it was super easy. Talk about pleasantly surprised. I’ve been making this recipe, courtesy of The Kitchn, for several years now. It’s super flexible, you can use anything from milk, to half-and-half, to oatmilk and it works. I love it for using up vegetables and herbs, interesting cheeses, or whatever else is in the fridge. I’ve baked it in a glass pie plate and a ceramic, and prefer it in the ceramic, but either will do! You can also very easily double this, but expect cook time to be closer to 45-60 min. We served a leek and manchego version for Easter brunch and it was excellent.

I was looking for something with more vegetables to add to Easter brunch, and this pretty salad was perfect! I adapted this from a BA recipe. The original called for a buttermilk dressing, but that seemed heavy for such a light salad, so I went with a simple lemon vinaigrette instead. I did actually do this with gluten-free bread, and it was pretty good! I’ll probably make it with regular bread next time, as I’m sure that’s a bit tastier, and just skip, but it was nice either way, and looked pretty on the table.

We made this for Easter brunch this year as more of a dessert item, and it was quite good! It was very easy, but the room temperature ingredients are key, so plan ahead. It was no problem to make this gluten-free (it may have been denser, but as a breakfast cake that was fine). I got the recipe from Delish and didn’t change anything. I did not use parchment paper, but left in case others might want to try it that way. Definitely a make again!
