Serious Eats / Jen Causey Every weekend in April, when asparagus is plentiful at the farmers market, I take bunches of it home, then spend the rest of the week eating through my haul: I grill it, braise it, toss it into salads , air-fry it, and turn it into soup . I especially love incorporating asparagus into frittatas and quiches—the vegetable has a sweet, grassy flavor that goes particularly well with eggs, dairy, and fresh herbs such as chives. The recipe below comes from my Birmingham, Alabama-based test kitchen colleague Renu Dhar , who made multiple asparagus quiches to come up with one that was delicious and elegant, but still simple to throw together. Filled with tender asparagus and creamy goat cheese, it’s a stellar vegetarian quiche that can easily be made ahead for a delightful weekday lunch or a celebratory brunch for Easter and other spring holidays. Here’s how to make it. Getting the Crust for Your Quiche Right The crust, a flaky pâte brisée , is a riff on Ser...

Serious Eats / Vicky Wasik My husband jokes that he doesn't bother asking me what I want for dinner anymore, because my answer is always the same: vegetables. That is especially true during the spring and summer, when alliums, fresh herbs, and green vegetables are abundant. As the weather warms up, I begin swapping hearty soups and stews for crisp salads starring short-lived seasonal ingredients. Ramps, asparagus, peas, and lettuces make their way into all our meals, giving salads, pastas , and eggs a bright pop of flavor. Below, you'll find an assortment of refreshing spring salads—including a tangy pea and preserved olive salad and a Roman-inspired mixed green salad—that are light and bright, and sure to chase the winter blues away. Spring Vegetable and Arugula Salad With Labne and Cucumbers J. Kenji López-Alt The secret to throwing a delicious salad at a moment's notice is keeping an assortment of blanched vegetables ready to go. For the easiest salad, toss blan...

Irvin Lin If you’re into perfectly baked, fresh-from-the-oven, homemade cookies (and let’s be honest, who isn’t?), you need more than a recipe: You need great cookie sheets. The material and construction matter, so we’ve spent years testing and re-testing cookie sheets. The one you use can make or break your favorite chocolate chip cookie, and you shouldn’t have to learn that the hard way. It’s worth noting that all of our favorites can go beyond baked goods—we use them for roasting all sorts of vegetables and meat, toasting nuts, cooling grains, making pizza , and more. Things to Consider What Is a Cookie Sheet? Thin cookie sheets get hot too quickly. That leads to warped pans and burnt cookie bottoms. Serious Eats A traditional cookie sheet is a thin, edgeless pan made from steel, aluminum, or a mixture of both. It’s good for one thing and one thing only: baking cookies. Cookies easily slide from the pan onto a cooling rack , and the lack of sides helps you maneuver a food ...

Serious Eats Serious Eats editors know a thing or two about knives. Whether they’ve worked in restaurant settings or have tested kitchen gear for years, they all have favorites that they turn to every day for tasks big and small. We asked our fellow editors about the knives they use in their home kitchens, and their answers were, unsurprisingly, detailed and opinionated. We recommend you take inspiration from their blade collections, whether you’re on the lookout for a new nakiri knife or petty knife .

But if I had to call out just one, it might be this very affordable chef's knife from Mercer. The quality-to-price ratio is so good on this thing that I have yet to find another chef's knife that ri...
