Smoked Salmon Spinach Quiche with Hash Brown Crust, submitted by TK member Megan of Wanna Be A Country Cleaver Quiche Lorraine, submitted by TK member Ashleigh of Scratchy Mama Crustless Asparagus Quiche, submitted by TK member Leigha of The Yooper Girl Asparagus Quiche, submitted by TK member Tanya of Lemons for Lulu Mini Spinach & Turkey Bacon Quiche, submitted by TK member Claire of The Realistic Nutritionist Southwest Quiche, submitted by TK member Meagan of A Zesty Bite Fried Garlic, Spinach and Goat Cheese Quiche, submitted by TK member Gaby of What's Gaby Cooking Chicken Sausage and Asparagus Quiche, submitted by TK member Lauren of Lauren's Latest

Another brunch classic is, of course, quiche, and it can come together relatively simply. Using spring ingredients also makes it ideal for Easter. Asparagus, pancetta and gruyere, anyone? We say yes.

Bacon, Havarti and Scallion Scones, submitted by TK member Colleen Gluten-Free Muesli Scones, submitted by TK member Elana of Elana's Pantry Lemon & Blueberry Cornmeal Scones, submitted by TK member Anita of Hungry Couple Oatmeal Cinnamon-Raisin Scones, submitted by TK member Three Many Cooks Whole Grain Strawberry Pop Tart Scones, submitted by TK member Jenna of Eat, Live, Run Olive Oil Scones, submitted by TK member Faith of An Edible Mosaic Savory Ricotta and Scallion Scones, submitted by TK member Stephanie of Girl Versus Dough Buttered Pecan Scones, submitted by TK member Christina of Dessert for Two Perfect Basic Buttermilk Scones, submitted by TK member Anita of Hungry Couple

I have never had a houseguest turn down a scone, especially if it was warm from the oven. A basket of any of these lovely scones would not be a bad addition to the brunch table. Sweet or savory, scones are such a satisfying treat.
