Easy Cheese Soufflé
Don't let the name fool you—while this is called a cheese soufflé, it’s technically a strata, though it does incorporate whipped egg whites, which helps the soufflé to puff up. It begins with rustic Italian Bread and uses fontina, Gruyère, and Parmesan cheeses. Like a strata, you refrigerate it overnight and bake it the next day, which is my kind of recipe! If you are apprehensive about making a traditional cheese soufflé, this is a good alternative.

Chickpea Veggie Salad
I made this Chickpea Veggie Salad for my lunches last week. I know many people would scoff, but those people are missing out; it is really good. The beauty of this is that you can add any or all the ingredients you like. Instead of adding pickles, I added Persian cucumbers. You could swap out the mayo for Greek yogurt. You do you. This can be served on lettuce, as a sandwich, in a wrap, or served with crackers.

It is baked at 350°F until puffed and golden. The dish is popular for its light texture.
