Quiche
This easy quiche is one of my all-time favorites! This recipe can be made-ahead, frozen, and baked later. My mother, who got this recipe from her friend Betty, used to make mass quantities and take them out whenever she needed one for an easy meal. She made it with light cream instead of milk.
Crispy Zucchini or Pumpkin Blossoms
My Italian grandmother makes these every year when the zucchini in her garden start to blossom. She is Sicilian and calls them "cripelli." It's sort of like a fritter and so yummy. As an alternative, you could also chop up the blossoms and mix them up in the batter and drop by teaspoons into the hot oil.
Avocado Toast with Egg
I love avocado toast, and if you add an egg to it you have a full meal. Sometimes I use balsamic vinegar to flavor the avocado instead of the lemon juice. You can make the egg any way you like, but I like it best fried or poached.
