I am looking for good recipes for a wedding brunch that can be made and frozen ahead, any ideas?

Answer 1

Crab cakes with corn relish
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped yellow onions
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers
Mayonnaise, recipe follows
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons dried fine bread crumbs
2 tablespoons Essence, recipe follows
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked for shells and cartilage
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Corn Relish, recipe follows

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Combine the mayonnaise, a little at a time, with the cooked vegetables, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the bread crumbs, and 1 tablespoon of the Essence in a large bowl, and mix well. Gently fold in the crabmeat.

Combine the flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the Essence in a shallow bowl and mix well. Combine the remaining 1 cup of bread crumbs with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of Essence in another bowl. Whisk 1 egg with the milk in another bowl.

Using your hands, form mini cakes with the crabmeat mixture, packing gently but firmly. Dredge each crab cake in the flour mixture, then in the egg wash, then the bread crumb mixture, shaking to remove any excess breading.

Heat 1/2 cup of vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry the crab cakes 3 or 4 at a time until golden brown, about 4 1/2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Can be frozen and reheated.
To serve, arrange the crab cakes on a platter and top each with a spoonful of the relish. Serve hot

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 pound button mushrooms, wiped clean and sliced
2 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 (14-ounce) cans artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
1 (15-ounce) container ricotta
1 cup grated monterey jack
1/2 cup crumbled feta
6 eggs
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup dried bread crumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan

In a large bowl, combine the spinach, artichoke hearts, mushroom mixture, ricotta, jack, and feta, and toss to combine.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, nutmeg, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add to the spinach mixture. Add the bread crumbs and mix well. Transfer to the prepared dish and top with a layer of Parmesan. Bake until the casserole is firm and the top is golden, about 45 to 50 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve.

Answer 2

Orange Glazed Blueberry Scones

2 cups unbleached flour, plus more for rolling berries
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut in chunks
3/4 cup buttermilk or cream
1 egg
1 pint fresh blueberries

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar; mix thoroughly. Cut in butter using 2 forks or a pastry blender. The butter pieces should be coated with flour and resemble crumbs.

In another bowl, mix buttermilk and egg together, and then add to the flour mixture. Mix just to incorporate, do no overwork the dough.
Roll blueberries in flour to coat, this will help prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the scone when baked. Fold the blueberries into batter, being careful not to bruise. Drop large tablespoons of batter on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until brown. Cool before applying orange glaze.


Orange Glaze:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
2 oranges, juiced and zested

To prepare Orange Glaze: combine butter, sugar, orange zest, and juice over a double boiler. Cook until butter and sugar are melted and mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and beat until smooth and slightly cool. Drizzle or brush on top of scones and let glaze get hazy and hardened.
