Alma School Rd., #36 • 480.857.4188 holiday quiches for your full-house brunch needs.

To pre-order, email catering@morning- squeeze.com or call your local Morning Squeeze by Nov. 21. JL Patisserie 4700 N. Central Ave. 7342 E. Shea Blvd., Scottsdale There’s nothing humble about chef Jenna Leurquin’s pies. The owner of JL Patisserie puts a French spin on the American classic with pâte brisée, a rich, all-French-butter crust that’s both crunchier and more delicate than your typical shell. Fillings run the gamut from spiced granny smith apples over a thin layer of almond cream to housemade pumpkin custard topped with vanilla mascarpone. They also offer bake- at-home cinnamon rolls and cookie deco- rating kits. Pre-order at jlpatisserie.com by Nov. 19 or email [email protected]. Bear and the Honey Bakery 777 E. Thunderbird Road Monique Curry, owner and baker at Bear and the Honey, isn’t your average pie maker. Sure, she slings traditional treats with all the trimmings, but she doesn’t shy away from dietary restrictions. In fact, she began her professional baking career creating gluten-free pies and has also tackled vegan recipes. For instance, when you order her Debra Pie — a grownup version of a Little Debbie with an oatmeal cookie base and Mexican vanilla custard — you may choose gluten- free, vegan, or gluten-free and vegan at checkout. Don’t forget the Mexican vanilla whipped cream. Pre-order at bearandthe- honey.com by Nov. 19 and pick up at the new brick- and-mortar bakery. Süss Pastries 5345 N. Seventh Ave. Jasmin Smith and Jessica Marzonie, co-owners of Süss Pastries, love to take traditional flavors and turn them up a notch. Take their pumpkin mousse. It starts with a browned butter graham cracker crust and then layers cranberry jam, pumpkin cream cheese mousse and toasted marshmallow fluff for an unexpected and indulgent interpretation. Even their apple pie invites mesquite to the party for a nutty topping that adds a local spin. Orders are also open for quiche, cornbread, pumpkin loaf bites and dessert bar boxes. Pre-order at susspastries.com/thanksgiving by Nov. 17. My Daddy’s Italian Bakery & Cafe 11677 W. Bell Road, Surprise My Daddy’s Italian Bakery & Cafe in Surprise has a surprise. As well as wood- fired pizzas and a pastry case packed with cookies, cream puffs and cannoli, this Italian staple is serving Thanksgiving pies, from traditional flavors like pumpkin and pecan to harder-to-find pies like a Ricotta- filled pie infused with candied citrus and wheat berries. Even better, pies start at $10.99. To pre-order, call 623-583-3677 by Nov. 21. JL Patisserie’s pecan pie is picture perfect. (Photo by JL Patisserie) Pie from p 21
