Years ago, when we lived closer, my sister and I used to get our families together for New Year's Eve. We'd eat, drink, and play board games. In the morning, my sister and I would prepare a brunch: a cozy way to usher in a new beginning. I miss those yearly rituals.
My sister lives too far for that sort of thing these days, but my husband and I still carry on the tradition with our kids: a special dinner preceded and followed by various board games. In the morning we go for a long walk, eat a wonderful brunch and phone our extended families to express season's greetings.
I am always on the look out for new dishes to serve on the very first day of the year. This crustless quiche is perfect for any meal. It makes great use of leftovers. A mixture of pre-roasted potatoes and sauteed spinach mingles beautifully with cottage cheese and eggs to form the perfect brunch center piece.

I know that this is going to be delicious. I am totally craving the spaghetti squash quinoa bake. I am willing to come over anytime and play games, as long as I get to eat too.
Nice looking crustless quiche! Quiche leftovers are great to take to work for lunches during the week.
Hi Alexa- What a delicious quiche! We are lovers of quiche in my house and will have to try this out soon. Perfect for the cold days we are having right now. It went from 59 degrees to 30 over night! Oh Well! I love the new picture of you in your winter cap- very sweet! Have a Happy New Year!!
That's a really beautiful tradition. My hubby and I have only been married for a year and I'm always trying to look out for/come up with traditions we can start, I'll have to remember this one :). Yes, I'd love to start the new year with this savory and delicious breakfast quiche!
Sounds perfect.. Never really cared much for buttery quiche crust.

You know I always omit the crust whenever I make quiche. Well, almost always. What a great way to start the New Year.
