Pesto Dried Tomato Quiche Bites

Made with our signature torta, this “quiche” is baked without a shell and is more of a frittata. Feel free to put it into a baked shell if you prefer. (Bake a refrigerated pie curst 10 minutes and allow to cool 10 minutes before proceeding with the filling below.)

  • 1 – 9.5 oz. Pesto Dried Tomato Torta, Tomato and Pesto Layers separated from cream cheese layer, Cream cheese layer cut into chunks.
  • Several mini muffin tins, nonstick
  • 10 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • ½ tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350° F and brush mini muffin tin(s) with butter (if using non-stick, use no butter). Place eggs in a large bowl, beat well. Add cream, pesto and tomato layers, whisking to combine. Carefully place chunks of cream cheese layer in center of each cup. Fill mini muffin tins 2/3 full.  Bake for 10-12 minutes, until eggs are set and   edges are browned. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan. Serves 10-12 as an appetizer.

Marionberry French Toast

Try this recipe for breakfast, brunch or dessert.

Trim the crust from the bread and flatten it out with a rolling pin. Place about 1 1/2 Tbs of the Marionberry Cheese Torta an inch from one end of the bread. Spread it out on the bread, but not to the edge; leave about 1/2 inch or else it will ooze out while frying. Roll the bread up and repeat until all 8 slices are filled. In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs and cream until well combined. In a separate bowl, place powdered sugar (for later). In a skillet set over medium heat, melt 1 Tbs butter. Add the rolls to the egg mixture, turning to coat on all sides and then place them in the pan, seam side down. Cook in batches until golden brown, turning to cook and brown on all sides. Add butter to the pan as needed. Add the hot rolls from the pan to the powdered sugar and roll until completely covered. These definitely taste best when eaten hot!
