Toast Cups

Toasted sandwich bread is all you need to make these crispy little cups, which become elegant appetizers when topped with your favourite combination of mouthwatering meat, flavourful cheese, dried fruit and fresh herbs. Save the crusts to turn into fresh bread crumbs for later use.

Homemade Ricotta Cheese

Three simple ingredients are all you need to make the best ricotta you've ever tasted. For an extra-indulgent treat, opt for organic whole milk, which is slightly higher in milk fat. This ricotta is most delicious served right away and warm, and it makes the most decadent and impressive topping for toasted bread.

Savoury Tomato and Gruyère Crumble

Plum tomatoes are meaty and dense, making them ideal for cooking and using in sauces. As they heat, they release sweet sun-ripened juice, which is soaked up by the toasted cheesy crumble.

Tomato, Zucchini and Goat Cheese Clafoutis

Anne Desjardins, cookbook author and executive chef of L'Eau à la Bouche in the Quebec Laurentians, is known for her use of Quebec's delicious seasonal ingredients. Her recipe for this simple puffed egg dish is no exception. You can taste the summer harvest in each bite.
