Daily Quiche

Daily Quiche | Bijouxs Little Jewels

Daily rotating quiche are served with a side of Shu farms market greens, simple and yet profoundly classic. The Daily Quiche is a perfect example of farm fresh ingredients used from local growers to create the menu at Sqirl Los Angeles. When I moved back to LA this was one of the first restaurants I sought out.

SQIRL RESTAURANT

Opened in 2011, this restaurant has created creative recipes using local ingredients. I loved the food and have enjoyed the cookbook from which this recipe is brought to us. I posed a jam recipe, and I actually had met Jessica very early on when she sold her jams at the Altadena Farmer’s Market. So good, I knew more what destined for her. She can take basic ingredients and make them special, like her thick buttery toast with Seedless Blackberry Cardamom Jam. So good.

DAILY QUICHE

No, you do not need to make this quiche daily, but at the restaurant they do. They mix up the ingredients for variety, however this take with spinach, garlic, shallots, feta cheese in a lush creamy filling is my choice. There is a nice balance of the rich filling to vegetables and herbs. The crust is buttery and substantial. Using local farm raised eggs from a local source is my choice. The eggs are from chicks right down the street from me-perfect.

Now that I am up in Ventura by the beach, I was so happy to find local eggs, right down the street from me. They are great, roaming free in the back yard.

Demerara Roasted Blueberry No Churn Ice Cream

No Churn Blueberry Ice Cream| Bijouxs Little Jewels

A creamy, smooth & rich sweetie of a no-churn ice cream, just brimming with roasted blueberries-Demerara Roasted Blueberry No Churn Ice Cream, a new Little Jewel from the Membership Collection.

NO CHURN ICE CREAM

How easy is this recipe?  Very easy. it’s a take on no-churn ice cream made special with the addition of Mascarpone cheese. A creamy dream that goes together quickly and is placed in the freezer. Once the ice cream base is the consistency of soft frozen ice cream you add the good stuff. No churn ice cream is new to me, but there are some common threads in most recipes: whipping cream with sweetened condensed milk, then adding in extras. There are organic options for the sweetened condensed milk.

DEMERARA ROASTED BLUEBERRIES

Here are little jewels that you swirl in the almost-set ice cream. Blueberries are roasted with crunchy Demerara sugar and a dash of balsamic vinegar to create the sweet swirls for the ice cream. These blueberries are not just for this ice cream. I have used these blueberries as a sweet topping with morning yogurt, wonderful along side roasted chicken, or blended into your favorite smoothie. A versatile recipe in the kitchen.

CREAMY NO-CHURN RECIPE

This a a very soft ice cream. It never really freezes completely solid due to the richness of the ingredients. However, it is truly wonderful, even  if it melts in a minute. Just be ready to roll when you remove it from the freezer. Scoop and serve immediately. The sugar roasted berries add a delightful sweetness. Place the ice cream in the freezer proof container. (I used a silicone loaf pan which gave enough depth to be able to scoop the ice cream). If you happen to have ice cream freezer container, that will work the best. There are lots to choose from here.

Bottom line this is ice cream about as easy and delicious as it gets.
