Whether you love sitting down to a hearty brunch or you can’t wait for the annual egg hunt, Easter is the perfect time to celebrate with family and friends. Holidays aren’t always easy for gluten-free eaters, especially when it comes to big family meals.

At The Maine Pie Co. we have you covered. From our pie shells to our ready-to-bake pies and tarts, everything we make is gluten-free. And if our rave reviews are any indication, we think everyone who gathers around your table will love our artisan gluten free desserts.

Ready to start baking? Here’s how to create a picture-perfect gluten-free Easter.

 

Easter brunch is a perfect time for a savory quiche. With our frozen gluten free pie shells, it’s easy to whip up a quiche that everyone can dig into. We like to make ours with traditional springtime ingredients, but we can never resist throwing in a few unexpected surprises.

 

• 1 frozen The Maine Pie Co. gluten-free 9” deep dish pie crust

• 4 oz. brie cheese

• 4 oz. Swiss cheese

• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced and sautéed

• 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

• 6 eggs

• 1/2 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup plain yogurt

• 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tsp. salt

• 1 tsp. pepper

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Prebake The Maine Pie Co. gluten-free pie crust according to package directions.

3. Cut rind off brie, and cube both brie and Swiss cheeses. 

4. Layer cheese, bacon, and mushrooms on bottom of pie crust.

5. Mix eggs, heavy cream, yogurt, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, and pour on top of cheese, bacon, and mushroom mixture.

6. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until center is set.

7. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

 

On Easter, there’s no need to skimp on dessert just because you are gluten free! We recommend offering guests a few delicious options to satisfy their sweet tooth!

Many of our year-round pie varieties, such as apple and blueberry are hits on any occasion but our three berry and strawberry rhubarb pies are great choices to add springtime flavors to your Easter table.

If you’re looking to tempt your guests with a treat that’s even more indulgent, set your sights on our tarts. Our lemon curd tart, an almond cookie crust filled with tart lemon curd, is always a favorite. For chocolate lovers we recommend our dark chocolate tart. A decadent mix between a warm brownie and dark chocolate truffle, our gluten free chocolate tart is great served with whipped cream, powdered sugar, or fresh berries on top.
