Broccoli Cheddar Quiche

June 23, 2020 by the thoughtful spoon

Over the weekend, we celebrated Timothy’s first Father’s Day! Since it was going to be one of those ‘once in a lifetime’ milestones, I wanted to make sure it was really special.

His mom and I sat down to strategize a menu and came up with the perfect plan. Originally, we were going to have an all out food extravaganza on Saturday but once we looked at everything we had, decided to split it out over the course of two days.

On Saturday, we made an array of sausages (brats, kielbasas, chorizos), with sauerkraut, beer onions, my roasted summer corn salad, and a homemade key lime pie for dessert.

Then on Sunday, we planned for scallops in a brown butter sauce with parmesan crisps. It would be the best of both worlds and I knew Tim would love it.

While Tim isn’t a huge breakfast person, he does have a few favorite breakfast dishes, with quiche being one of them. In Brooklyn, we have this amazing little bakery near our apartment where we would often get a slice to split, so I wanted to bring a little piece of “home”, home and recreate it as best I could. This definitely is not the ‘cleanest’ recipe, but sometimes you just got to opt for the real deal. We paired this with a simple breakfast salad, some fresh squeezed OJ, and Aveline’s handmade Dad mug.

It made for a pretty memorable weekend if I do say so myself and I’m already trying to think of ways to top it next year!

HOW is my baby 11 months old already?! These day HOW is my baby 11 months old already?! 

These days Aveline is really into walking, giving high fives, giving “kisses” (which is basically just open mouth to the face), blowing raspberries on my tummy (which is also basically just open mouth to my stomach), hugging Summit, loving on her friends from school, morning dance parties, and snuggling with her da-da. 

Her little personality is developing every day and she’s so sweet, funny and just cool. 

Time can seriously slow down now... at least for the next 28 days #almostone #elevenmonthsold #avelinereynolds
