Crustless Quiche Recipe
Easy Easter Brunch
(Family Features) - Hosting an Easter brunch is a great way to bring
friends and family together. And it doesn't have to be hard or
expensive. Here are some simple things you can do to ensure a memorable
celebration without the hassle.
Take Inventory. Pull out the dishes, platters,
silverware and glassware to make sure you have what you need. If
needed, spruce up any silver and table linens a few days before, so you
can concentrate on other things the day-of the event.
Set a Pretty Table. For creative place cards, try
Easter eggs. Put a narrow strip of tape around the middle of each egg
before you dye it. When it's dry, peel off the tape and write each name
in the white space with a thin line permanent marker.
Keep it Centered. For an inexpensive centerpiece, leverage simplicity:
- Fill a glass bowl or vase with colorful Easter eggs - real or plastic.
- Put a potted plant inside an Easter basket.
- Set white or ivory votive candles on top of a flat mirror.
Plan the Menu. The main thing you must always
remember is to keep it simple. Don't be afraid to use store bought
items and recipes that can be made ahead of time. These simple time
savers leave you more time to relax to enjoy your guests.
- Buy instead of baking. Muffins, fruit pastries and seasonal Easter
breads can all be found in the bakery section of your grocery store.
- Provide
a lighter side dish such as a simple fruit salad. Squeeze lemon or
orange juice on the fruit to help it keep from turning brown.
- Create
a simple, yet special main dish such as a crustless quiche. With this
easy recipe from Hillshire Farm, you simply combine flavorful beef
smoked sausage with cheese and eggs for a mouth-watering dish. You can
prepare the mixture ahead of time, cover the baking dish with foil and
keep it in the fridge until just before the party. Remove the foil,
bake as instructed and watch your guests enjoy.
