GARDEN FRESH BRUNCH TART

16 Comments

This Garden Fresh Brunch Tart is one of those easy recipes that always turns out beautifully—and tastes just as good as it looks.

A delicious garden fresh brunch tart filled with fresh veggies, eggs and cheese. Perfect way to use those summer vegetables.

I love making tarts, quiche, and frittatas because they are so versatile and convenient. You can prepare them ahead of time, then simply warm them up when you’re ready to serve. This particular tart has become a favorite in our home, and my husband always gives it a big thumbs up.

Years ago, when my husband was involved in drag racing, I would send along meals that could easily be reheated in the RV at the track. This brunch tart was one of the recipes the guys always enjoyed—it travels well, reheats beautifully, and is filling without being too heavy.

Made with fresh vegetables, eggs, and cheese in a flaky crust, this tart is perfect for a weekend brunch, a light lunch, or even cut into smaller pieces and served as an appetizer. Continue reading GARDEN FRESH BRUNCH TART →

LOADED BREAKFAST PANINI

This loaded breakfast panini is perfect to start your day with, or to serve to guests for a special treat.

Leftover ham was the inspiration for my loaded breakfast panini.  My husband loves fried egg sandwiches, but doesn’t let himself eat them too often.  In the summer months he loves them with a slice of fresh tomato.  One morning while fixing breakfast, I saw the leftover ham in the refrigerator and put this sandwich together for him.

Any time I have a fresh tomato, I do add a slice or 2 to the sandwich. Continue reading LOADED BREAKFAST PANINI →
