Although broccoli is a known winter crop, harvesting it in the fall has several benefits!

✨ Optimal flavor.
✨ Broccoli is a cool-season crop that can withstand lower temperatures, making it ideal for fall growing.
✨ Fall harvesting, produce larger, denser heads than early varieties.

What’s your favorite way to enjoy broccoli?

soak up a sunday morning with a delicious seasonal brunch 🍑

✨ Baked French Toast with End of Summer Peaches and Pecan Crumble 🍑

pro-tip: drying out the challah lets it absorb the custard without going to mush. You can also use brioche!

Ingredients:

1 1-pound loaf challah, sliced 1” thick

Unsalted butter, room temperature (for baking dish)

4 large eggs

4 large egg yolks

2 cups heavy cream or coconut cream

2 cups whole or non dairy milk

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 cup pecans

2 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces

2 tablespoons light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

1.4 cup powdered sugar for dusting

1 Bottle Maple Syrup

3 Peaches

Cooking Instructions:

🍑 Preparation For french toast: Spread out bread on a rimmed baking sheet; let stand overnight.

🍑 Butter a 13x9” baking dish. Cut bread so slices are similar in size. Arrange, overlapping, in rows in prepared dish.

🍑 Whisk eggs, egg yolks, cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour over bread, pressing bread to help it soak up custard. Cover and chill at least 2 hours. Add sliced peaches throughout.

🍑 For pecan crumble and assembly: Preheat oven to 375°F. Pulse pecans, butter, brown sugar, and salt in a food processor until nuts are coarsely chopped.

🍑 Scatter pecan crumble over soaked bread. Place dish on a rimmed baking sheet and cover tightly with foil. Bake until warmed through (a knife inserted into the center should feel warm to the touch), 25–30 minutes. Remove foil and bake until deeply browned, 35–40 minutes longer. Let cool slightly before serving with Syrup.

🍑 Bread can be soaked 1 day ahead. Keep chilled. Pecan mixture can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

Enjoy!

“My wife and I celebrated our 8th anniversary recently and instead of going out to dinner at some stuffy restaurant we hired The Heirloom Chef to cater our dinner. Chef Jackie was phenomenal. We had a great time. She showed up on time, was accommodating. Really professional. Very friendly. At the end of everything she left the kitchen very clean and left us very happy with the service.”

Client reviews like this make us incredibly happy to be doing what we love the most — creating, cooking and serving seasonal, nourishing foods.

Meet chimichurri, an Argentine condiment! Chimichurri is loaded with good-for-you benefits, including calcium, carotenes, iron, and vitamins A and C (from the parsley) and calcium, fiber, iron, and vitamins E and K (from the oregano), as well as heart-healthy garlic and the monounsaturated fat found in olive oil.
