Asparagus and Mâche with Pistachios and Soft-Cooked Eggs

 

Asparagus and Mâche with Pistachios and Soft-Cooked Eggs is a wonderful addition to any buffet table. If you can't find mâche, you can use arugula.

Fresh Fig Almond Custard Filo Tart

There really is nothing better than a succulent fresh fig. This Fresh Fig Almond Custard Filo Tart is light and tasty, great served with some vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Chocolate Almond Soufflé

I love this Chocolate Almond Soufflé recipe. You turn it out upside down on a plate. You don’t have to worry if it falls because it is supposed to and you can make it ahead. Sadly, my husband is allergic to chocolate, so haven’t made it in awhile. You can go overboard and pour hot fudge sauce on it or sprinkle it with powdered sugar. I have a feeling I know what most people would do!

Broccoli, Bacon, Shallot & Provolone Quiche

This Broccoli, Bacon, Shallot & Provolone Quiche goes from brunch buffet to dinner table or picnic in a snap and is great with a leafy green salad. The flaky crust and custard filling make it a perfect vehicle for an array of mix-ins. Baking the crust before adding the filling, known as blind baking, ensures it won't get soggy.

Spinach & Italian Sausage Quiche

This is my aunt Marjorie’s Spinach & Italian Sausage Quiche recipe. It’s so good and easy. I used cheddar instead of Swiss cheese.

24 Hour Salad

There are many versions of this 24 Hour Salad. It's perfect to bring to a potluck. Up to 24 hours before you plan to serve the salad, layer a large bowl in the exact order given. I have learned 2 tricks from Martha Stewart over the years, one is how to hard boil an egg perfectly (bring eggs to a boil, boil for 1 minute, remove from heat and cover for exactly 13 minutes), the second thing is you pour the dressing in the bottom of a salad bowl, put the salad ingredients on top and toss right before serving. This is also a great way to bring a salad to a potluck.

Mexican Scrambled Eggs

I found this recipe online very early in the morning. It's from Nigella Lawson. I had all the ingredients and made it within 5 minutes of reading the recipe. There is nothing more satisfying than that. I even used one of my jalapeños from my garden. I have modified the recipe slightly to include cheese and finishing it under the broiler. Everyone at my breakfast table LOVED it.....

Gruyère Cheese and Chive Soufflé

I have literally made this Gruyère Cheese and Chive Soufflé hundreds of times, especially when we were first married. It’s cheap and cheerful, as the Brits would say. I love making things that don’t cost much, but have an air of elegance.
