Mushroom and Spinach Quiche
Looking for a fresh and delicious brunch option? A spinach and mushroom quiche is the perfect dish to highlight the flavors of spring. Here’s how to make it:
Eggs: Choose fresh local eggs from Crossings or Sunflower Hill Farm for the best flavor.
Mushrooms: Use shiitakes from Heritage Harvest or SandyCreek Farm or oyster mushrooms from Heritage Harvest to give your quiche that earthy, robust flavor.
Cheese: Add richness with Goat Lady Lindale gouda—a creamy, nutty touch that complements the mushrooms perfectly.
Serve your quiche with a sweet treat, like fig sweet bread from SandyCreek Farm or Kahlua sour cream coffee cake from Rabble and Rise. This pairing is the perfect way to enjoy a garden brunch in the spring!
Sheet-Pan Chicken with Red Cabbage and Sweet Potatoes
There’s nothing like a hearty sheet-pan dinner to bring the flavors of the season to your table. Crossings chicken thighs combined with red cabbage and sweet potatoes make for a comforting, yet fresh spring meal. Here’s how to prepare it:
Chicken Thighs: Use Crossings chicken thighs for juicy, flavorful chicken.
Veggies: Add red cabbage and sweet potatoes—both are available now to make your dish colorful and nutritious.
