Meatloaf Roll
This is Nadiya Hussain’s Meatloaf Roll. We watched an episode of her show on Netflix and my husband made it the next day. I really don't like meatloaf, but I have to say it is outstanding. It is a hybrid of three British classics: beef Wellington, sausage roll, and Scotch egg. Her trick is to brush the puff pastry with watered-down marmite before wrapping it around the meat, which gives it a subtle umami flavor. You can make it ahead of time and bake later in the day.

Make-Ahead French Toast Casserole with Caramel-Hazelnut Topping
While on the east coast, one of my best friends Jessica and her husband Marc just happened to be visiting her mom for the weekend, who lives not far from me, and invited me to brunch. She made this fantastic Make-Ahead French Toast Casserole with Caramel-Hazelnut Topping. It is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast dish that can be prepared ahead of time. It is made with day-old bread, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. The bread is soaked in the egg mixture overnight, which makes it soft and custardy. The casserole is then baked until golden brown and topped with a caramel-hazelnut topping. You can use pecans or walnuts if you prefer.
This recipe is perfect for busy mornings or when you want to make a special breakfast for guests. It can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator. When you are ready to bake, simply remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then, bake according to the instructions.

Vegetable & Goat Cheese Tart
I am in Connecticut for a while staying with my mom. I found a fabulous little farmers market super close by at the Stamford Museum & Nature Center. I bought some vegetables and decided to make this Vegetable & Goat Cheese Tart. This tart is very versatile. You can use any combination of vegetables. You can make one big one or individual tarts. I used herbed goat cheese, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, and asparagus. It's so simple and easy to make. Serve it with a mixed green salad.

Coronation Quiche
I finally decided to make the controversial Coronation Quiche. I have to say, it's rather underwhelming. I had to hold back from adding shallots, and more cheese. I think it's a risky thing to make for guests due to the addition of tarragon, which you either love or hate. It's described on the King's website as A deep quiche with a crisp, light pastry case and delicate flavours of Spinach, Broad Beans and fresh Tarragon. Eat hot or cold with a green salad and boiled new potatoes - perfect for a Coronation Big Lunch! I beg to differ. Give me Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation Chicken!
