Corn Casserole (Dairy)
This dairy Corn Casserole, which an Israeli friend introduced to me, is delicious. Corn, mushrooms and hard-boiled are mixed with a cream sauce that has a touch of mustard in it. For a lighter version of the casserole, use less cheese and bread crumbs on top.

Crustless Quiche (Dairy)
This is the easiest quiche in the world but it doesn't compromise on the flavor. I serve it every Shavuot as well as after fast days. The recipe I have given here is for mushroom quiche, but you can just as easily make zucchini quiche or tuna quiche by merely replacing the mushrooms with either one.
