Similar to a loaded baked potato, this loaded gluten free quiche is a treasure trove of decadence. Bacon, caramelized onion, sauteed red peppers, cheddar cheese, and cream (or sour cream) make this quiche amazing. However, the flaky easy-to-make Gluten Free Cream Cheese Pastry Crust with its tender and flakiness is the shining star of this dish. However, it does not detract from its flavorful filling.

F. For a new gluten free baker, this gluten free cream cheese pastry dough is the most forgiving. The cream cheese creates elasticity in the dough making it easy to work with, yet produces a tender and flaky pie crust for sweet or savory dishes, crackers, pastries, and more.

After creating the Gluten Free Pretzel Pie Crust, in my mind, I had two good choices for fillings, both creating incredible sweet and salty delights. They are chocolate ganache and salted caramel. Then there’s chocolate ganache and peanut butter. I chose the latter but explain how to make the caramel filling as well. You can’t go wrong with either. The crust is so easy to make, too!

There’s nothing like the combination of sweet and salty. That’s what you get when you make this gluten free pretzel pie crust.

Cremeschnitte is an extremely popular European dessert as well as in other countries. Cremeschnitte means “cream slices” in German because of its layers of cream. I have added a pecan layer between two layers of which is sandwiched together by two layers of puff pastry. It’s rich and delicious!

This is my new holiday brussels sprouts recipe. It contains Christmas colors and flavors, yet it is so easy to make. If you don’t have an oven available, make them in a skillet. They’re delicious either way. Continue reading “Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cranberries and Pecans”

If you’re looking for a small batch gluten free puff pastry, this recipe is perfect to use as a base for up to 12-inch round pans or about 4 Danish pastries. When baked in a 9-1/2-inch springform pan, it will shrink about 1-1/2 inches. This small batch recipe is one-quarter of the recipe that you will find here. In addition, I’ve added a new ingredient substitute that will help prevent sogginess in cakes where this pastry is used as a base. This is especially useful for desserts filled with custard. I’m using this as a base to make a St. Honore cake like the famous bakery, Victoria Pastry Company, makes in San Francisco. Enjoy!
