There are many things to love about brunch. Its long, leisurely pace. The happy co-mingling of sweet and savory dishes. A general acceptance of alcoholic beverages being served before noon. When you can bring cheese into the mix, brunch gets even better.

The ham in this sandwich is optional; it tastes just as good without it. Gruyere is a flavorful cheese to melt in a sandwich, but you can easily change the recipe by using your favorite cheese
Scrambled Eggs with Queso Fresco Cheese

A simple twist on scrambled eggs...instead of cheddar, try using queso fresco. It adds a mild, salty flavor and creamy texture to the eggs and although the cheese softens it doesn't become stringy.
Crustless Quiche

Skip the crust and serve quiche that is easier to make and lighter to eat. Asparagus, prosciutto and any type of hard cheese you like flavor this light-as-air quiche
