Bread and Butter Pudding is classic British mommy food and one of the easiest puddings to make. It's a great way to use up left over bread — white, (the classic), brown, brioche, even stale croissant, the method is the same whichever you use. If you're feeling particularly decadent, smear the buttered bread with a little marmalade or jam before baking.
Excellent hot or at room temperature. Reheats well.
Over my girls’ coop, a sign reads: team quiche. That’s because each of my three original hens would lay an egg a day, and three eggs are exactly what my favorite recipe calls for. Quiche is easy to make, great to share, and keeps well in the fridge. It tastes just as good heated up in the oven the next day. You can customize it, adding whatever you prefer. If your add-ins include breakfast meats such as bacon or sausage, make sure they’re precooked before mixing them with the other ingredients.
I love hash so much I've even served this diner staple at The French Laundry. It's a great Sunday brunch dish, with poached eggs, but could also be served as a side dish at dinner. Don't hold the cubed potatoes in water—cut them just before cooking so that they are very dry and will become very crisp. The cooked potatoes are tossed with bacon and melted onions.
I've written out each step to making a soufflé in detail to insure success. The steps take less than 30 minutes to prep plus about 25 minutes baking time. Whether you make an individual soufflé for one or want to serve up to four people the method is the same, just scale up the formula for the number of servings. Similarly, you can adjust the formula according to the cup-measure of the baking dish you are using.

It's a pleasure to sink your fork into during brunch, lunch, or dinner.
First thing you should know is that these donuts are worth eating a full day after you fry them.
