Easter Brunch- Vegan Quiche

Jamie Ervin — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 21:14:10 +0000

Quiche is one of the expected foods at nearly any Easter brunch. The challenge? How to make this egg filled dish without animal products?

If you do opt for traditional quiche… please consider cage free, hormone free, organic eggs and meats. Or find a neighbor who raises chickens and gather your own in the hen house (or take a page from Cate and raise your own). If you are coloring eggs this year, consider natural dyes for a fun change.

Another idea: if you want a traditional egg quiche, cold dye raw eggs, then blow out the egg and use it in your quiche. This way you get both pretty, dyed eggs and something to eat while using less.

Mother’s Day Breakfast Recipes

My day never begins with a leisurely breakfast in bed. Likely because my spouse is not a morning person, and the only other morning person around is under four, and she wakes me up daily before seven. However, the Kiddo makes some tasty scrambled eggs as long as I do the stove part and raw egg part. And, I have my hopes up for the years to come.

In the meantime, I will share a few favorite breakfast dishes that you moms could, say, print out, circle in great big red ink, and leave out on the counter just before hanging the “Do Not Disturb Until 9:30, or My Breakfast is Ready” sign on the bedroom door. I will live vicariously through you.
