Cuisine: Pie
Frozen Daiquiri Pie
This recipe was originally discovered as a frozen margarita pie but I like to swap the tequila for white rum, which lends itself very nicely to the tart lime and rich graham cracker crust. Frozen Daiquiri Pie is an easy, make ahead dessert that allows you one last cocktail after dinner all the while keeping you cool. Because what’s almost better than rum and pie? And, it keeps your oven off in the summer.

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.

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.

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.

Crack Pie
My kids told me to watch Chef's Table Pastry on Netflix. Unfortunately, I did and now I am an addict! This Crack Pie is a recipe from Christina Tosi Momofuku at Milk Bar in New York. It's kind of like a pecan pie without the pecans. It also reminds me of sticky toffee pudding.

Orange Custard Pie
This Orange Custard Pie was a recipe I found in the back of an old recipe box. I also happen to have an orange tree that is bursting with oranges. It's pretty simple to make and is delicious.
