Spinach and Gruyere Quiches
An outstanding quiche relies on a few simple elements: a creamy egg custard, buttery homemade crust, and flavorful cheese and vegetables. This family-friendly brunch recipe delivers all three.
Leek-and-Goat-Cheese Tart with Rye Crust
This rustic-yet-elegant tart combines buttery leeks and scallions with creamy, bright goat cheese, and cradles them together inside a crisp and tender rye-flour crust.
Baked French Toast
Thick brioche slices soak up the batter, while sugared pecans lend a caramelized crunch to this make-ahead baked French toast recipe to feed a hungry breakfast or brunch crowd.
Asparagus Custard Tart
This tart is unapologetically rich—there is puff pastry, Gruyere, goat cheese, and cream—yet the overall effect is one of lightness. It's a handy make-ahead addition to a festive spring brunch spread, but paired with a green salad, it also makes a satisfying supper on its own.
Roasted Radish Tart
No, those aren't flowers adorning this creamy cauliflower tart! They're thinly sliced watermelon radishes—they take on that distinctive shape, not to mention that stunning shade of deep fuchsia, when baked.

Eggs Goldenrod
Hard-boiled eggs are paired with creamy white gravy and buttered toast in this old-school Southern dish. It's just the thing for Easter breakfast.
Easter Babka
This delicious recipe for Easter babka comes from the "Martha Stewart Living" television show.
Garlicky Beans
Instead of broiling the garlic, you can also char cloves one at a time over the flame of a gas stove, holding and turning with tongs, until blackened and blistering, about 30 seconds to 1 minute each. The beans make a delectable side for Shrimp and Clams a la Plancha.
Hot Cross Buns
In England, hot cross buns—soft and slightly sweet little cakes with a cross cut into the tops—are traditionally served on Good Friday.
Breakfast Casserole with Bacon
Like quiche, this savory dish has a custard filling; using frozen puff pastry instead of traditional pie dough makes it even simpler to prepare. This time-saving recipe is perfect for brunch.
