Winning Brunch: The Ultimate Cheese Quiche

We love a great quiche. But a great quiche is hard to find. Underbaked and gummy crusts, curdled custards with soggy mix-ins: We won’t stand for this kind of brunch mediocrity. An oeuf is an oeuf! We broke down the quiche into its component parts and reconsidered and recalibrated every detail to make the ultimate cheese quiche. Super-flaky, super-crispy pie crust. Silky-smooth, rich cheese custard made with Velveeta and Gruyère. Baked to perfection. We did it.

Behold: A BIG Macau Egg Tart

Have you ever held a flaky Chinese egg tart in your hand and proclaimed, in your best Zoolander voice, “This needs to be at least ... three times the size?” Oh, that’s just us? Cool, cool, cool. Well, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to super-size the Macau-style egg tart, and it’s freakin’ awesome. More crispy-flaky-tender scratch-made Chinese puff pastry. More rich, eggy pastry cream. More burnished, caramelized top. More Macau egg tart for everyone.

How Fresh Are Your Eggs? Introducing the Egg Carton Decoder

Eggs are more expensive than ever these days. So, we’ve designed a tool that will help you pick out the freshest eggs at the store, ensuring no eggs in your fridge go to waste for no reason due to restrictive sell-by date labels. Introducing the ChefSteps egg carton decoder!

Plug some numbers printed on your egg carton into our handy new widget, and it’ll tell you exactly when and where the eggs were packed (a much better way to determine how “fresh and local” those eggs are). Pretty slick.
