Chicago-Style Pepper & Egg Quiche

Chicago-Style Pepper & Egg Quiche

This pepper and egg quiche takes inspiration from the pepper and egg sandwich. This is the Chicago vegetarian counterpart to the more ubiquitous Italian beef sandwich. We’re taking this classic flavor profile and putting it in a quiche! As delicious and effortless as a pepper and egg sandwich is, it’s not terribly portable and is best eaten hot and right after making it. This pepper and egg quiche can be made ahead and reheated or served cold, making it great for meal prep or busy brunch menus.

Smoked Trout Toasts

Smoked Trout Toasts

These smoked trout toast snacks are so simple it's hard to even call it a recipe, but it's a delicious way to use your home canned smoked trout [https://www.alewyfe.com/canning-smoked-trout/], or tins of your favorite store-bought smoked fish. Crispbread crackers spread with white creamy cheese and topped with flaky smoked fish and black pepper, this is Nordic cuisine at its simplest. Enjoy them for a smørrebrød-inspired snack to start the day with a light savory breakfast, an afternoon nosh to keep away the hunger pangs until dinner, or anytime in between. These elegant little smoked trout toasts also make a fantastic appetizer or passed canape for a party- just cut or break the crispbread into bite sized pieces.

Rum Raisin Bread Pudding with Apples

This rum raisin bread pudding is classic comfort food, studded with rum-soaked raisins, chunks of fresh apple, and a creamy egg custard.

They’re a natural accompaniment to a cup of tea but also a great partner for your morning cup of joe. The delicate lemon flavor of these scones is subtle and won’t overpower most jams or spreads.
