Sale. Contest. Recipe. Yum!


What's cooking, y'all? 

Today I have three tasty tidbits to share. 

1. Need to trick out the kitchen? There's a massive sale going on at Sur La Table. Check out high-quality cookware up to 40% off!

2. In my dream life, I have a Parisian pied-a-terre, a Chanel wardrobe, and a kitchen full of Le Creuset. Speaking of LC, they're giving away 100 prizes in 100 days. Click here to enter the contest!

3. You know those recipes you make a billion times and they're always amazing? This one is easy, quick and chic. It works for brunch (with muffins) or dinner (with a Mesclun salad). 

Crustless Fresh Sage, Ham and Gruyere Quiche 
(Adapted from Marie Claire magazine)
  • 1 slice soft whole-wheat bread, diced
  • 3 oz. deli ham, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup minced scallions (green and white parts), or to taste
  • 1 1/2 oz. (about 1/2 cup) shredded Gruyere or other intensely flavored Swiss cheese
  • 3 fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced
  • 4 large eggs and 2 egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Rub a tiny pat of butter on the side and the bottom of an 8-inch round, nonstick baking pan. (I use a glass pie plate.) Add, in order, the bread, ham, scallions, cheese, and sage.

Whisk the eggs, milk, and pepper in a medium bowl. Pour the mixture into the baking pan. 

Bake in a 425-degree oven for 20 minutes, or until the center is firm and the top is golden. 

Place on a rack and let cool for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve. 

Bon appetit

Good one! I have to buy a ton of wedding presents - maybe I'll get some from Sur La T.
