My Favorite Tomato Quiche

I love tomatoes like crazy, especially homegrown summer tomatoes. This quiche is great then but it is also so good any time of the year. Since you cook the tomatoes down, they become roasted and intensely flavored giving you a hint of those summer beauties. Sometimes I add additional tomato slices to the top as shown but sometimes not. This is also a great recipe to use up tomatoes that are starting to get a little soft.

First, melt butter and sauté onions until soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. Next, add thyme, salt, and tomatoes. Cover and cook on low for 5 minutes. Uncover pan and mash tomatoes. Cook uncovered until mixture is dry and thick. Let cool.

Next, whisk together eggs, milk, and salt. Stir in grated cheese and cooled tomato mixture. Pour into uncooked pie crust.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 50 minutes until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

For a delicious variation, substitute cheddar for the Swiss. Add jalapenos and bell peppers for a Southwest version!

I love blueberries. I love them fresh, in baked goods, in salads, you name it. And today, I really needed to bake something yummy for breakfast. Something easy and uncomplicated and just really, really good.

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare a muffin tin with muffin papers and set aside.

Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder and set aside while you prepare the wet ingredients.

Beat together butter and sugar until well mixed and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla, yogurt, lemon juice and zest.

Stir the flour mixture into the wet mixture. Mash 1/2 cup blueberries and stir into batter. Toss the remaining berries in the 1/4 cup of flour and then fold into batter.

ill the muffin liners, dividing the batter between the liners. They will be full. Sprinkle the sugar over the tops of all the muffins and bake for 30 minutes until golden. Cool 10 minutes and then serve warm.

The Best, Most Delicious Overnight or Anytime French Toast Casserole that You’ll Want to Make Again and Again!

This is SO good. It is comfort food at it’s best. A meal and a dessert all in one. One of my kids, who doesn’t like French toast said, “I’m someone who does like French toast, but this, this is delicious and you should make this again.” We had it for dinner instead of breakfast with the homemade cherry syrup.

Honestly, it doesn’t need syrup. The brown sugar and butter gets nice and syrupy and kind of caramelized on the bottom of the baking dish. Some of it bakes into the bread and when you serve it, you flip it upside down on to the plate and spoon what’s left in the pan right on top. It is amazing.

You can use really whatever bread you have on hand but I love egg bread are the best for this: challah, brioche. It makes it seem kind of fancy. And it is so easy to make and forgiving. It calls for 8 eggs but I’ve gotten by with six. You can make it ahead or you can make it right now. It only takes a few minutes to put it all together.
