Brie is a favorite cheese made more delicious with delicious honey, it’s delicious with a nice crusty baguette, but it’s also good with bagels!

Help! I am not Jewish, however my boyfriend and many other friends are. As with the Jewish faith, my Christian faith calls for service. I was thinking; since I can cook all day while my friends are at service and fasting, what would be a fantastic Break-the-fast menu that still serves the traditions? Last year I made salmon cakes, a vegetable torte and Challah Bread Pudding. I want to keep traditions, but be able to serve my friends in a fantastic way. Please let me know. I’ve searched the internet over for recipes yet they are all the same simple/fast things. I am just afraid I will make something that is not allowed.
Quiche and parve soup hot
Pasta. Actually have a running joke with a friend where we’ll start a conversation after a fast with, “Hows the lasagna?”
I like fish and bagels
I usually make a dairy soup like creamy mushroom or french onion and scrambled eggs and good bread and butter.
