Asparagus, Ham and Gruyère Quiche in a Hash Brown Crust

I have been very into quiche lately. I just love the hash brown crust idea. It makes it gluten-free. I had leftover asparagus and ham and paired it with Gruyère.

Dijon Maple Glazed Spiral Ham

I know this is after Easter, but this ham was phenomenal and the photograph that my daughter Zoe took is even better. The maple glaze caramelizes on the edges of the ham.

Coquilles Saint Jacques

Our friend Jeanne invited us to dinner last week and she made Ina's Coquilles Saint Jacques. I have never been a fan of scallops, but that all changed! This was spectacularly good. Scallops in a creamy sauce with just a hit of curry are cooked under a crust of bread crumbs and cheese. The beauty of this recipe is that it can be prepared the day before. Coquille is the French word for shell.

Lemon Buttermilk Pie with Saffron

Don't you hate when you need buttermilk and they only sell it in quarts?! Didn't they use to sell buttermilk in pints? Recipes usually call for a cup or two, then you have all this leftover buttermilk to use up. I happen to stumble upon this Lemon Buttermilk Pie with Saffron and we have lemons in our backyard. Blind-baking the crust in this lemon buttermilk pie recipe is essential: It keeps it from getting soggy when the custardy filling is added.

Greek Broccoli Gratin

This Greek Broccoli Gratin is a lighter take on a traditional cheesy broccoli casserole. It uses tangy feta cheese and a mixture of mayonnaise and yogurt in place of a traditional cheese sauce saves tons of time, making this a quick and easy side dish to pair with chicken or fish. Or, serve as a vegetarian main with a salad.

Melting Potatoes

These Melting Potatoes are crispy on the outside and melting on the inside. Named for the texture, these potatoes are baked in a way that dissolves the internal structure into an incredibly soft and almost mashed potato-like consistency on the inside.

Goat Cheese and Dill Quiche in a Hash Brown Crust

This Goat Cheese and Dill Quiche in a Hash Brown Crust is without a doubt the best quiche I have ever made. The creamy, silky filled with an abundance of dill meets a crispy hash brown crust! Hello! What's wrong with this? NOTHING! Everyone loved it. My husband is out of town is not pleased that I made it without him. His birthday is next week so I will do it again.
