Baked Eggs with Spinach and Cheese

Freemans is one of my favorite places to grab brunch in New York city. It almost feels like a hidden gem located at the end of a tiny alley. The food is socially conscious sans the pretentiousness and the vibe is very nice… um despite the animal heads hanging on the wall. But maybe you have an affinity for taxidermy. Anyway, what brings me to Freemans for brunch over and over is their skillet egg dish, which I absolutely love. Eggs decadently baked on a bed of spinach with heavy cream, bacon and gruyere, and served with sourdough toast. It’s such a simple yet delicious dish that I felt I should share it with you. Here’s my vegetarian adaptation of the dish, which offers a nice alternative to the oh so predictable omelet for a brunch party. Read more

Tomato Goat Cheese Tart

What’s more beautiful this time of year than a basket of heirloom cherry tomatoes? I couldn’t resist the multi-colored tiny tomatoes at the farmer’s market, all purple and red and yellow, and at $4 for a basket, they were less expensive than some of the heirloom monsters you see dominating the stands.

I based my recipe off of this one I found on epicurious, for a tomato and goat cheese tart with cornmeal crust. The cornmeal in the crust gives it a nice crunch, and the flavor pairs well with the goat cheese. I had a single onion that had been hanging out awhile, and before it went bad, I decided to caramelize it and throw it into the mix, along with part of a zucchini I’d also gotten from the market. The result was very decadent — this recipe has a lot of butter — but perfect alongside a light salad in place of a more banal quiche. This tart would be perfect to serve to company. Pretty and delicious!
