Japanese Souffle Pancakes

Japanese Souffle Pancakes

These pancakes are very fluffy and are essentially a meringue folded into a simple yolk batter.  Be sure to get the meringue very strong, and be gentle with the folding.  The parchment paper rings can be awkward so feel free to go freeform without them, […]

Roasted Breakfast Potatoes

Roasted Breakfast Potatoes

Caramelized onions always take longer than you think, but they add the perfect sweetness and texture to these potatoes.  We freshened ours up with a diced tomato mixed in with the cheese.  Bell pepper can be added as well, with a 5-minute sauté and added […]

French Omelette with Blistered Tomatoes

French Omelette with Blistered Tomatoes

Omelettes can be made with endless combinations.  This style requires a number of techniques and a touch of finesse as you can easily overcook the eggs or break the roll. Always try to have something creamy in the middle (goat cheese, creme fraîche, mascarpone, etc.), and […]

Shakshuka with Feta

Shakshuka with Feta

This delicious, baked, savory breakfast is a great way to mix up the weekend morning routine.  The prep is simple for how much flavor this dish yields.  Use your favorite marinara for the sauce, or, of course, our homemade marinara.

Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon Rolls

These take a few hours, so plan accordingly. If you’d like to prep ahead and split up the recipe over a couple days, you can take it as far as the start of the second prove (where they are cut and in the baking dish). […]

Eggs Benedict over Savory Herb and Cheese Waffles

Eggs Benedict over Savory Herb and Cheese Waffles

Eggs Benedict is a lovely start to a weekend, and what we were looking for was an interesting way of elevating this dish.  We’ve been trying to find a good homemade waffle recipe, and have been struggling to find one that doesn’t yield super dense […]

Cinnamon Coffee Crumb Cake

Cinnamon Coffee Crumb Cake

I’m a big lover of cinnamon, and the sugary crumbles have helped coffee cake become one of my all-time favorites. So, why not try to make it myself? I’m pleased to say that this recipe worked great. I’d like to improve the crumbles next time, […]

Cheese Soufflé

Cheese Soufflé

If you have any fresh gruyere cheese sitting around, a cheese soufflé is a delicious challenge. Actually, it was surprisingly straightforward (or I was lucky), and so rewarding when you see it puff up! It starts with a basic roux, which turns into rich béchamel […]

Lemon Blueberry Poppy Seed Muffins

Lemon Blueberry Poppy Seed Muffins

What a treat!  Fresh blueberries are hard to beat, plus the zest of lemon with the little crunch of poppy seeds build a fantastic muffin.  There’s an optional sweet glaze if you’re into it (it’s the last instruction).  We were wary of the amount of […]

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

What a morning delight! Fresh and fluffy, these pancakes are similar to our regular Fluffy Pancakes, just heaving and they interestingly enough get about the same amount of rise. This recipe basically replaces the milk ingredient with ricotta and extra liquid (lemon juice and water) […]

Fluffy Pancakes

Fluffy Pancakes

We’ve searched high and low for a good pancake recipe. Sure there are great mixes at the store (we love the Kodiak Cakes Whole Wheat mix), but when it’s from scratch you can control the quality of ingredients. And when it’s from scratch AND it […]

Breakfast Frittata

Breakfast Frittata

We enjoy the “choose your own adventure” aspect of breakfast frittatas.  We’ve tried to include a variety of optional ingredients and callouts in the instructions for customization opportunities.  Something fresh should always be included, so we choose diced tomatoes, and you can’t go wrong with […]
