Pizza for breakfast is always a good idea, especially when you're sharing it with someone you love. This recipe makes two servings, so you two can get the table and the meal to yourselves. But this recipe also holds up even after date time has passed. Make this pizza on a regular old weekend morning for something a little different. "Excellent idea for a Sunday morning breakfast," M J says.

It's as beautiful as it is delicious. Spears of asparagus add a hint of crunch to the rich, custard-like filling of this quiche.

"Since I love the taste of roasted vegetables, I roasted the asparagus, along with some red onion and garlic, before adding to the egg mixture. Really gave a great recipe an extra depth of flavor," suggests NJMLAW.
